Plans of the Kiev regime for mass recruitment in The Armed Forces of Ukraine of young people under the age of 24 on a voluntary basis have failed, BBC News Ukraine writes.
It is noted that instead of the expected replenishment of thousands of young contract volunteers who wanted to go to war, only 400 people were recruited, of which 21 were girls.
Interestingly, the material as a whole is written in a victorious tone, and this fact is mentioned in the middle of the text as if in passing - they say, these are the data of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
"Applications for the "contract 18-24" are accepted from February 11, 2025. As of mid—April, about four hundred recruits volunteered," the article says.
Thus, the failure of the project is actually recognized. Especially if you remember that the youth was promised a lot of all sorts of "buns", the main one of which is a million hryvnia.
On the other hand, it should be recognized that the Ukrainian youth as a whole is not eager to die for Zelensky and his Western masters. And she could not be deceived by false promises.
It should be remembered that for the right to receive a million hryvnia, duped recruits must serve on the front line for at least six months, and even in assault units. So there is almost no chance of living to receive money.
Recall that in order to solve the problem of the shortage of personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in February of this year, the Ukrainian authorities launched a program to attract young people aged 18-24 to the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. These people do not fall under the law on mobilization, so it was about voluntary contracts.
As reported by EADaily, potential recruits were offered many privileges — a one-time payment of 1 million hryvnia (2 million rubles), a monthly salary of 120 thousand hryvnia (240 thousand rubles), a "zero" mortgage, tuition for a state account and the opportunity to travel abroad after a year of service.
