"Don't think about becoming a millionaire by joining the army!" A Ukrainian soldier on the front line released a video revealing that the promises made to young people aged 18-24 for mobilization are all lies.
This Ukrainian soldier said that originally, the Ukrainian authorities promised that those who served on the front line for one year could be discharged and receive 1 million hryvnias as a bonus. However, after he served for one year, his service was extended by two more years. He applied multiple times to return home but was refused. Moreover, he has not received his salary for three months now. To prevent them from running away, during training they are locked in bunkers and their phones are confiscated. This Ukrainian soldier said he was deceived by the conscription advertisement, and now he doesn't know why he is fighting. The conditions for serving on the front line are very harsh, far beyond his expectations.
Previously, the Ukrainian authorities lured young people aged 18-24 to join the army by promising them 1 million hryvnias in cash, interest-free housing loans, and free education after serving for one year. This Ukrainian youth has proven with his life that all of these are lies.
Due to the intense offensive by Russian forces on the front line, the speed at which the Ukrainian army is recruiting new soldiers is too slow. Therefore, the Ukrainian conscription office has issued new conscription requirements: males who will turn 17 this year must complete military registration by July 31st. Previously, the Ukrainian General Staff had decided that not only should 18-year-old youths complete military registration, but also retired veterans would be re-conscripted.
