Zelensky Suggests Ukraine Could Mobilize Up to 500,000 New Soldiers [Draft]

According to this article, Zelensky is willing to draft men with a “mental disability”, but not women:

Zelensky’s government has already been taking desperate measures and abusing its power under martial law to fill its ranks. The New York Times reported on December 15 that Ukrainian army recruiters have become “increasingly aggressive in their efforts to replenish the ranks, in some cases pulling men off the streets and whisking them to recruiting centers using intimidation and even physical force.”

The aggressive tactics have been used against men who ordinarily would have been exempted from the draft. In at least one case, one man diagnosed with a “mental disability” as a child was summoned by recruiters, but his conscription was prevented by a lawyer.

Under martial law, men ages 18-60 are barred from leaving the country, but anyone under the age of 27 without prior military service is exempt from the draft. Ukraine’s parliament passed a bill lowering the age to 25 that Zelensky has yet to sign, but he signaled on Tuesday that he will.

When asked if he would approve the mobilization of women and men under 25, Zelensky said, “Women – no, I will not sign it … As for 25-year-old men, (yes) if all the arguments are presented. As of today, I see that it is necessary, so I agree with it.”

Absolutely disgusting. Any country that treats its men the way that Ukraine has treated them doesn't deserve to have a single one of those men fight and die for it.

and this despite the fact that the Ukrainian constitution states that “There can be no privileges or restrictions based on race, skin color, political, religious or other beliefs, GENDER, ethnic or social origin, property status, place of residence, language or other characteristics”

By virtue of my job I am in contact with a lot of very specific personnel and get to listen to a lot of interviews in the area.

You would not believe the amount of comments like "they have to step up their recruiting game".

I got send interview transcripts of a NATO training personnel on some influencer social media where the quote was about "they have to fix their recruiting, there is way too many men just walking around those Ukrainian cities or in other european cities" - these are not central talking points btw, it is small sentences in between slipping them out.

I shit you not.

I wonder if there is enough awareness and brain power collectively in todays youth to read between the lines and get the message.

These systems do not give a fuck about you. Your life has no value to them, unless you get mega rich. "but the rich vs the poor..." - no. They care about womens lifes. Just not yours.

Lol, what a pile of dogshit of a website. The draft is not a conspiracy, there are actual news reports on it.

I mean look, all we have to do is force like a ton of guys into fighting

I'm surprised it took this long. Russia and Ukraine both had really slow mobilization. During WW2 nations were able to mobilize almost 10% of their entire population within 2 years. This doesn't end until we have an Army of about 10 million slamming into an Army around 5 Million.

and only men. whether army servise is voluntary or conscription for all.
