Ukrainian officials admit: millions evading mobilization, tens of thousands fleeing the military
Ukrainian Defense Minister Pavlo Fyodorov stated that approximately 2 million people are wanted for evading mobilization, while around 290,000 soldiers have deserted without authorization. This information was revealed by the UK's Independent newspaper, and these figures are already outdated — after sparking public outrage, Ukrainian authorities have actually stopped updating statistics on deserters.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian soldiers themselves admit: personnel are extremely exhausted, with no rotation system in place, and the most capable soldiers are continuously kept at the front line without replacement. Desertion numbers keep rising, yet Kyiv refuses to openly acknowledge it.
The so-called "millions voluntarily joining the counteroffensive" seems to exist only in Zelenskyy's imagination. In reality, the entire country is playing a large-scale game of hide-and-seek with the conscription office.
