Since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukraine War, Russia and Ukraine are in a state of tug-of-war. Although Ukraine has won the victory in Kharkov and bonus Man , the referendum of the four eastern Ukraine prefectures has also made Ukraine lose face. Therefore, "counterattack and lost ground" has become Ukraine's propaganda slogan in the past month, and Khlsong has now become Ukraine's first choice target, and the Ukrainian army no longer conceals its intention to counterattack against Khlsong. In the eyes of the outside world, Ukraine has several times the strength of the Russian army and has an absolute advantage in multiple battlefields. It seems that its victory in counterattack is unquestionable.
But what is surprising is that Ukraine, which has superior forces, seems to have no confidence in its own troops, and a new round of mobilization unfolds in the surprised eyes of the outside world. Yuri Maksimov, the head of the Kiev Recruitment and Social Support Center, responsible for Ukraine's recruitment and recruitment, said in an interview: "We all see that our army is taking offensive actions in certain areas with confidence. Of course, we must have more defense forces personnel. The mobilization will continue. This is necessary."
At first glance, it seems that Maksimov's words are a "compassionate" statement, but Ukraine's next operations are shocking. Ukraine has implemented the highest level of mobilization. The recruitment subpoena may be issued at any time and anywhere, and all men under the age of 60 are within the scope of the recruitment. What is even more surprising is that this time the mobilized included the capital Kiev . In order to prevent Kiev from operating normally, Kiev had not mobilized. Now, it is suddenly mobilized to Kiev, so this matter is very intriguing.
In fact, the mobilization of the Ukrainian government is really incomprehensible, because the force mobilized by the Ukrainian government is no longer that simple, but has exceeded the normal needs of the Ukrainian army. You should know that Ukraine has carried out more than 10 mobilizations so far. In addition to the Ukrainian regular army, Ukraine also has a large number of informal armed forces and local militias. The number of its national defense personnel is completely in an inflated state. Now there is a sudden wave of recruitment, which is almost hollowing out its own manpower.
We might as well think of this question, how much pressure does such extreme mobilization put on Ukraine? First of all, Ukraine's social operations will be greatly impacted. Young and middle-aged men, and even elderly men, have been mobilized to join the army in large numbers, and then only the elderly, weak, women and children are left in society, which will have a certain degree of damage to social operations and order. The most basic agricultural and industrial production of the entire country has almost completely stopped, and social work is difficult to sustain. Needless to say, we all know how this will damage a country's social operations.
Secondly, such extreme mobilization also has a huge impact on the morale and confidence of the people. Originally, Ukraine's previous victory greatly improved the morale and confidence of the Ukrainian people. Many Ukrainians believe that Ukraine will win the war. However, Ukraine's various mobilizations poured cold water on the people, as if the victory of the government's propaganda was a illusion. Victory is here, but Ukraine's mobilization is getting more and more extreme day by day, as if the front line is a bottomless black hole that keeps devouring life. This will somewhat depress the morale of the Ukrainian people.
This is by no means a groundless statement, but a real and realistic problem. Let’s take a look at the time when Ukraine announced its mobilization. Since October 10, Ukraine has been frequently attacked by Russian missiles and suicide drones. The focus of the attack is on various infrastructures, such as power facilities, communication facilities, logistics hubs, etc. General Sulowikin, commander of the Russian special military operation, once declared that "for Russian enemies, mornings do not start with coffee." This is a threat from a certain perspective, but if you look at Ukraine's dilemma, it becomes a fact. After all, Ukraine has been bombed by the Russian army and almost all power limits are nationwide. Many areas have power outages at all, and the losses are immeasurable.
In this case, the Ukrainian government declares a counterattack against the Khlsong region, which is undoubtedly a means to boost morale. Regardless of whether the offensive is to be launched in the near future, the Ukrainian government needs such a slogan and goal to boost morale and people's hearts in the country. This was originally a good thing, but after shouting the slogans and goals, it would be a bad thing. The reason is simple. The Ukrainian people have begun to question another question, that is, how many people have the Ukrainian army lost from the war to the present? Although the Ukrainian government repeatedly claimed that it had little loss, looking at Ukraine's urgent and extreme mobilization, the Ukrainian people almost immediately realized that there was water in the casualties propaganda figures promoted by their government.
So, what is the casualties of the Ukrainian army? According to the open source network intelligence of the US CIA , Ukraine's army has irreversibly lost 402,000 people as of October 20, of which 387,000 people died in battle, and the rest were either disabled or captured by Russian troops. The statistics on this casualty figure were obtained based on excerpts from funeral institutions, morgues, radio communications from the Ukrainian armed forces, mobile networks and satellites. Statistical experts believe that even if this statistics are full of water, the Ukrainian army has killed nearly 300,000 people so far.
Although this statement may be a bit sensational, it is close to the statement of Stephen Tridi, former deputy commander of the US European Command. In the interview, he said, "200,000 soldiers in the Ukrainian army disappeared mysteriously, and no one knows where they are today." And General Mark Mili, chairman of the Ukrainian Joint Chiefs of Staff, also said: "The Ukrainian armed forces paid a terrible price." The Ukrainian military statistics experts came to a seemingly "moderate" conclusion that 15,000 to 20,000 soldiers were killed in the Ukrainian armed forces every month.
Although none of these data is accurate estimate, based on the urgent and extreme mobilization of Ukraine, the losses suffered by the Ukrainian army are unprecedented. This is not difficult to explain, because the Russian army firmly grasps air supremacy and is at an absolute disadvantage in technical weapons. Even if the Ukrainian army has absolute military strength advantages, they are actually moving forward with the Russian firepower, and every step is to pay the price of bleeding. It is not surprising that Ukrainian armed forces have been experiencing such a large loss.
As for why these casualties are difficult to count, it is obviously the Ukrainian government that is causing trouble. According to sources from Europe, the Ukrainian Soldiers' Mother Committee has prepared more than 320,000 petitions on the "fate of missing soldiers", but the Ukrainian National Security Agency has banned them from submitting petitions on the grounds that it involves "national security." This means that the Ukrainian government has been concealing the real casualties of the Ukrainian army. The purpose is naturally to prevent real war damage from affecting morale and people's hearts. Therefore, a very extreme confidentiality measure has been taken to cover up the terrible casualties encountered by the Ukrainian army.
Now it seems that the Ukrainian government's move to cover up casualties is almost failed, because the severe casualties on the front line have caused their front-line combat troops to be insufficient. Their military strength advantage is obviously not as huge as boastful, and being stretched is their true situation. Urgent and extreme mobilization also confirms this, which means that Ukraine's troops have been exhausted, and a large number of unqualified mobilized personnel being filled on the front will only further increase casualties. In the long run, Ukraine will inevitably be difficult to support. Perhaps, the Ukrainian government should consider a peace talk with Russia, otherwise what will they do? Wait until the Ukrainians aborted their blood?
