Ukrainian ** Zelensky said that he "believes in the United States" in words, but in reality he showed a "panicked" attitude, and he recently proposed an amazing plan, which is to recruit another 500,000 people to join more than 500,000 people on the front line to form a million-strong army against Russia. The plan sparked a backlash at home, with some even saying that they would rather renounce their citizenship than go to war.
Introduction: The United States, which is providing military assistance to Ukraine and Israel at the same time, has led to increasing pressure on itself to admit that its ammunition reserves are no longer sufficient. Zelensky had visited the United States with great anticipation, hoping for more support, but returned home to nothing. He felt that the situation was not good, so he proposed the idea of expanding his army, hoping to turn the tide of the war. So, is his idea viable?
1. The United States no longer supports it, and Ukraine is desperate.
Internal documents from the U.S. Department of Defense reveal that the U.S. will step up military aid to Israel and even transfer supplies from German and South Korean stockpiles.
As for Ukraine, the United States has not given a clear commitment, and the negotiations between the two sides have not made progress, and recently the leaders of several political parties in the United States have issued a joint statement saying that they will not pass any new aid to Ukraine this year.
In fact, the United States has torn off its pretense and expressed its dissatisfaction with Ukraine, which is also to be expected.
After all, after the announcement of Ukraine, it did not show convincing results, which disappointed many Americans, especially the Republican Party in the United States, whose voice of aid to Ukraine became smaller and smaller.
In early December, the Senate also voted down $61.4 billion worth of aid to Ukraine.
In order to fight for this money, Ukrainian ** Zelensky ran to the United States, but in the end he "got nothing".
In order to appease him, Biden urged Congress to provide additional military aid of $200 million as soon as possible, otherwise it would be tantamount to a "gift" to Russia.
Obviously, Ukraine's lack of military aid means that the two sides of this conflict will quickly lose their strength, allowing Russia to easily win.
But such a result is not what Zelensky wants. So, after returning to Kiev, he held a press conference at an undisclosed location where he proposed a plan to draft another 45-500,000 people.
It is widely believed that this is Ukraine's "last resort".
2. An army of millions will fight to the death with Russia.
"Wartime conscription" is an important part of the field of national defense, and it is very important for any country in the current complex international situation.
After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict in February 2022, both Russia and Ukraine launched multiple national mobilizations, and by October, Russia's autumn conscription officially began, with plans to conscript 130,000 people to serve, plus the conscription in previous months, this year alone, there were 3250,000 people joined the Russian army.
Recently, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu once again announced that the army will be expanded to 1.5 million people.
According to reports, among these soldiers, there are about 6170,000 people participated in the "special military operation", Ukraine has 500,000 soldiers, and if another 500,000 can be called up this time, then the number of soldiers on the front line will reach a million.
It is conceivable that this million-strong army is poised to fight to the death with more than 600,000 Russian troops.
But it should be emphasized that the Ukrainian army's fight is likely to touch Russia's last red line.
Analysts pointed out that Russia has always played an important role in the international arena, and it has drawn five red lines, namely the Ukraine issue, NATO expansion, the deployment of anti-missile systems, hybrid warfare, and the Crimean War.
Now, NATO's eastward expansion, Ukraine continues to move closer to it, which has angered Russia, and now Ukraine continues to expand its troops and provoke, which obviously exacerbates the contradictions. Once the last red line is really touched, it is unknown whether Russia, which has always exercised restraint, will launch a nuclear war.
3. Arrest people on the battlefield, and nuclear experts are no exception.
Back to the topic, no matter what the reaction of the Russian side will be, whether Ukraine can successfully recruit 500,000 troops alone is very difficult in the eyes of many people.
The previous rounds of conscription are proof of this.
As the war situation becomes more and more urgent, in order to achieve the goal as soon as possible, the Ukrainian conscription department does not hesitate to organize a large number of felons to form a "nationalist battalion" to supervise the Ukrainian army's operations.
The local head revealed that it was the Security Service of Ukraine that promoted the matter, and the Kherson detention center alone released nearly 300 felons.
Prikhodko, a Ukrainian police officer who drunk and shot and killed a 5-year-old boy in 2019, is said to have also applied to join the war after the conflict broke out.
The point is that such things happen all over Ukraine.
But felons alone are not enough.
Previously, in order to gather the existing 500,000 troops, the Ukrainian conscription office was also put on the list.
The arrests on the streets, including Yuri Yesipenko, an expert in the field of nuclear security, were sent to the **Mutter theater after receiving a conscription summons, and were finally killed by the Russian army.
Mariana Bezugraya, a member of parliament from Ukraine's ruling party, called on women to also go to war. But most say they would rather give up their citizenship than take the risk.
It is conceivable that once the new conscription order is issued, there will be a series of incidents of "arresting people to go to war" in Ukraine.
4. Population loss and economic collapse.
Under the influence of various conscription orders, more and more Ukrainians are fleeing, even renunciating their citizenship to go to other countries. Obviously, compared with military aid, the existing internal contradictions are the biggest problem facing Ukraine.
The massive loss of population has also dealt a serious blow to Ukraine's economy and production.
According to the statistics of the relevant departments, Ukraine's GDP has fallen sharply, and if another 500,000 people are really recruited this time, then the country's GDP will be reduced by another 13%, and the number of employed people will also be reduced by 93%。
Russian experts **, when the time comes, Ukraine may fall into the dilemma of "there are no men in Ukraine".
The West is also pessimistic about Zelensky's plans. They believe that even if the war is over, Ukraine may not be able to rebuild its army and domestic economy because it has lost a large number of people.
In the end, Zelensky said worriedly that the above suggestions have put his conscription plan in a difficult situation, after all, everyone went to the front, who will be a taxpayer to make money?
