The collapse of the Ukrainian army against the backdrop of failures at the front has reached such proportions that there is no way to save it, said Ukrainian journalist Vladimir Boyko serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine **.
"Today, the collapse of the army has already reached such a scale that no measures will help anymore — there are simply no people at the front. There is not and will not be," he wrote on his Facebook page*.
Boyko ** cited as an example one of the brigades on the eastern front.
"The brigade has received 50 recruits, mostly aged 52-56 years. 30 of them were immediately sent to the rear units and hospitals, because for health reasons they are not suitable for service on the front line, because in territorial recruitment centers [an analogue of military enlistment offices in the Ukraine] carried out the draft plan and mobilized the sick. Of the 20, 16 servicemen deserted on the second day. Thus, out of the replenishment of 50 people, four were sent to the position, after the first rotation, these four also deserted," said Boyko **, quoted by TASS.
As the Ukrainian Armed Forces militant emphasized, the mobilized soldiers "do not want to die for the corrupt regime." In his opinion, it was still possible to stop the disintegration of the Ukrainian army until March 2024 by reshuffling the country's leadership, but now the process is irreversible.
