Ukrainian authorities want to throw the last reserve – the youth into the furnace of war

Despite the absurdity of this idea, I am receiving more and more information about the desire of the current government to implement it: to send Ukrainian youth from the age of 18 to fight (currently, young men under the age of 25 are not subject to mobilization). The information comes from my own sources in the Ministry of Defense and the administration of Volodymyr Zelensky. Moreover, such information, without hiding, is already being voiced by regime officials:

One Nikolai Shchur, an advisor to Zelensky’s office: “Various levels of changes to the documents are expected. I think there will be a presentation in the coming days.” These are his words as quoted by the Associated Press.

Pawel Palisa, deputy shadow leader of the regime, Yermak: “We have a large mobilization resource. I believe it is even more than what we need right now for various tasks on the front lines. The mechanism in place now does not allow us to be as effective as we could be.”

The absurdity, the lack of strategic military sense in this terrible idea is obvious: even Zelensky himself has said repeatedly that there is nothing to arm the new conscripts with: “Why mobilize even more young men? So that there will be even more unarmed military men?”

This was also confirmed by generals, frontline officers and soldiers. All the more so when the new American leader stopped any assistance to other countries.

Moreover, it is a crime against Ukraine to send to war the guys who remained in the devastated country, the gene pool that will have to continue the lineage and improve the demography of our country.

At the same time, the generation of those who are now 18-25 years old is one of the fewest in the country, due to the low birth rate in Ukraine in the early 2000s. In addition, a significant part of them have a deferment from military service as university students.

In addition, already from 2022, many parents, fearing for the future of their children, began to take abroad their sons aged 15-17 years old, for whom in Ukraine, unlike men over 18 years old, the borders are not yet closed. In October last year, the Minister of Education of Ukraine Oksen Lisovoy said that the departure abroad of high school boys under the age of 18 has become a mass character.

Therefore, in the end, the number of young male Ukrainians who, if such a decision is made, will be able to be mobilized into the army will not be very large. And their conscription will not have any noticeable impact on the improvement of the situation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

But over these years we have already witnessed a mass of absurd decisions taken by the Ukrainian authorities either because of instructions from “partners” or because of populism and the desire to look pretty on the screen or podiums; decisions that have had bloody consequences: unnecessary “meat” storms, fallen “fortresses” from Mariupol, Bakhmut, Kurakhovo, Avdeevka, etc., mass roundups of men on the streets of Ukrainian towns and villages with the forced sending of them to the front.

Therefore, nothing can be discarded. One cannot apply to them and their decisions the notions of humanity, justice, as well as the notions of reasonableness, strategy, balance.

Donald Trump three days ago voiced the reason for the current Ukrainian government’s rejection of peace in 2022 and the continuation of the massacre: “wanted to fight.” Willingly or unwittingly, it was confirmed and expanded by Zelensky: “They said, I’m retreating and they will replace me… And I’m no longer president.” I am sure that there were some other motives and background, but about that later, and it does not change the essence.

Thus, the likelihood of Zelensky and his entourage making such a decision to draft young people to the front is very high. It is likely to be wrapped in the wrapper of “voluntariness” to begin with, and then they will do the standard thing, with raids and kidnappings. 

In the 20th century, there was a figure who, realizing the inevitable defeat, called and sent boys to death: the hastily assembled units of “Hitler Youth” were quickly destroyed by the Red Army, and had absolutely no effect on the situation and the outcome of the war.

Now I ask you, dear Ukrainian parents: did you give birth and raise your children for this?! Is this their future you saw?! Do you want someone from the temporizers to call your children a “mobilization resource”!?! And treat them like a resource?! 

I’m sure you don’t, absolutely not. Yes, I know, today in Ukraine dissent is brutally persecuted by the regime: thousands of normal Ukrainians who have a different position than Zelensky have been thrown into prisons by his regime, dozens have been killed. Therefore, I have no right to call you to riots and protests, which will be brutally suppressed by the dictatorial regime.

But no one and nothing can take away the sacred right of parents to protect and keep their child safe! Think and do!!!
