Russia & Ukraine

All the Russkies are fleeing from military service. Er, wait, the WSJ is publishing propaganda here.

Ukraine is facing the problem of recruiting new fighters for the Armed Forces, as more men of conscription age evade mobilization.

An article on the subject was published by the Wall Street Journal.

"One Ukrainian paid almost $10,000 to flee the draft. Another has ignored five military summonses. A third avoids public spaces, fearing a military official will pounce and issue a call-up." the Journal wrote.

According to its information, "Ukrainian authorities are scrambling to recruit replacements, often drafting those who have neither the desire nor the training to serve. The result is a growing number of fighting-age men who are attempting to evade service"

The publication gives examples of those who try to leave Ukraine in different ways or hide from mobilization inside the country. There are also examples of men being mobilized who are clearly unfit for service.

"A disabled person was drafted in western Ukraine and pronounced fit for service despite having no hands. Another died on the front lines within a month of mobilization after 10 days of training, according to his relatives" — tells the WSJ.

An IAF representative told an Indian parliamentary committee that due to the Ukraine war a “major delivery” from Moscow “is not going to take place.”

The admission,published in a reportby India’s lower house of parliament on Tuesday, is the first official confirmation by Indian authorities amid swirling rumors and reports in local media suggesting shortcomings in Russian capacity.

“They have given us in writing that they are not able to deliver it,” the representative said, according to the report.

This is a reminder that Russia cannot even produce tanks for their own troops.

Since February last year, 100 people were injured in the Donetsk People’s Republic by Ukrainian PFM-1"Lepestok" antipersonnel mines: three of the victims died as a result of their wounds.

The PFM-1 mines can be deployed from mortars, helicopters and planes in large numbers; they glide to the ground without exploding and will explode later upon contact.

Ukraine signed the Ottawa Convention and ratified it in 2005, so it had to destroy its stock of PFM-1 mines.

However, Zelensky regime actively uses these weapons, including against civilians in Donbass.
