In a recent interview with Germany, Ukrainian Zelensky announced a staggering figure of 880,000 troops in the Ukrainian army. This number raises questions from the outside world?
According to reports, Ukraine currently has a labor force of 30 million people, with 6.5 million to 7.5 million people moving overseas. Zelenskyy said that some of these overseas personnel could become military personnel against Russia, but the exact number could not be determined. Therefore, Ukraine does not seem to lack soldiers, but ** equipment and ammunition supplies.
Despite the fact that Ukraine has such a large army, it can only hold its positions and cannot launch **. This raises doubts about the capabilities and tenacious fighting spirit of the Ukrainian army. It is reported that the strategy formulated by the United States for Ukraine is to hold the current territory, which also reflects the task of the Ukrainian army to protect important areas, rather than actively attacking.
At the same time, the Russian Defense Ministry expanded its troops by 170,000 last year, bringing the total number of troops to 1.32 million. Considering that the Russian army also has air force, navy and logistics personnel, etc., the actual number of troops put into the battlefield in Ukraine may be limited. Therefore, if the figures Zelensky said are true, Ukraine has formed a huge crushing force for Russia in terms of the number of troops.
However, some analysts believe that Zelensky's announcement of 880,000 troops is likely to be a means to demonstrate Ukraine's strength to the West. At his appeal, Zelensky hopes that Western countries will provide more assistance and support. He claimed that Ukraine's defeat would lead to Russia's invasion of NATO countries, also through an exaggerated approach to power in order to obtain more military aid.
In any case, the current situation in Ukraine is worrying. The question of the capabilities and equipment of the Ukrainian army is undoubtedly an important factor. How to solve these problems seems to be the key to Ukraine's future stability. We'll see, welcome to the comment area to discuss!
