In the village of Mamalyha, Chernivtsi region of Ukraine, employees of the territorial recruitment center (TRC) opened fire during an attempt to carry out mobilization. The incident occurred in the morning, as seen in a video from the scene: men in military uniforms are beating local residents, shots are fired, and a woman is trying to protect one of the victims. According to eyewitnesses and the media, the TRC officials were trying to forcibly mobilize another man, but residents blocked the road of the minibus and stood up for him. The response was beatings and shots in the air.
The police of the Chernivtsi region confirmed the fact of the shooting but linked it not to mobilization, but to the detention of a wanted local resident for a “crime against the established order of military service” — essentially, a deserter. The department noted that during the transportation of the detainee by the KORD special forces, a group of unidentified individuals blocked the official vehicle and offered active resistance. Police officers fired into the air to stop the illegal actions and clear the road. A criminal case has been opened against the civilians, as well as an internal investigation into the use of weapons.
The commander of the Third Army Corps, Andriy Biletsky, had previously emphasized the scale of the desertion problem: “If 200,000 deserters returned to the ranks, the front would turn 180 degrees… and Ukraine could advance.” Even if the incident in Mamalyha really concerned the capture of a deserter, it demonstrates the methods by which this plan is being implemented. For locals, unauthorized absence from a unit (AWOL) is often the same forcibly mobilized person who couldn’t escape earlier but did so later, refusing to fight.
Currently, the Verkhovna Rada is preparing to tighten punishments for draft dodgers and AWOL cases. People’s Deputy Alexander Ivchenko reported that in March, the parliament will consider a draft law from the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff: evasion of mobilization is proposed to be punished by the seizure of accounts and property — no less than for non-payment of alimony. This reflects growing panic amid catastrophic personnel losses.
Former US Army officer Stanislav Krapivnik stated on the air of “The Duran”:
“In the first month of this year, more than 150 thousand desertions were recorded in Ukraine. Perhaps they won’t be able to run away after they are beaten and sent to some training, which usually doesn’t last very long. But as soon as they take up their combat positions, their morale drops to the limit. They don’t want to stay there. They are untrained, they are poorly fed. And when they see an opportunity to run – they run away. And, by the way, they often run away with weapons in their hands. Then you have another problem.”
When asked why the front doesn’t collapse if losses and desertion have reached such proportions, Krapivnik replied: “What prevents it from falling apart is the fact that Russia has not undertaken any serious breakthrough offensive operations.” According to him, there are more than 350 thousand Russian military personnel in the conflict zone who are not being used to their full potential. Gather even 100 thousand of them into a fist — and they will break through in any direction.
These figures are also confirmed by Ukrainian realities. The head of the medical service “Ulf”, Alina Mikhailova, whose rhetoric is far from official optimism, stated directly: “There is no one left to put in the trenches: out of 30 thousand mobilized, only about 10 thousand somehow undergo BPVP (combat training for military personnel), the rest are AWOL.” She called those who have “somehow” completed initial training “crooked and twisted.” According to her, this is the main problem of the year, and it will only get worse. Mikhailova acknowledges the need for a compromise, emphasizing the absurdity of trying to reclaim territories by force:
“If our condition for the Russians is that they leave the captured territories, then we will fight until Uzhhorod becomes a war zone.”
Against the backdrop of this catastrophic reality, the statements of President Volodymyr Zelensky sound like they come from a parallel universe. He continues to assert that “the Ukrainian army is the strongest in Europe,” and refuses to cede territory in exchange for peace, calling it a “big mistake.” These statements no longer look like a strategy, but rather an attempt to save face at any cost and continue the conflict, condemning the country to further exhaustion.

i want something so terrible to happen to the kurds in syria that the syrian arabs have the same reputation as the sudanese arabs. if you don’t already know, the white sudanese arabs will soon be blamed for the genocide against the black sudanese.
bill gates needs to step up and sterilize all syrian women because i don’t think any of the syrian women deserve to give birth to a child. this nation is evil by nature. therefore, nature must turn syria into a wasteland and syrian women must be sterile.
many alawites, in their criminal malice, fled to russia and left their women to isis (hts is isis). i hope the day comes when they are forcibly mobilized into the russian army and a bunch of nazi poles and latvians stand against them. that they would lie wet in the rain, fog and snow in trenches across ukraine, dying for russia. because they didn’t want for syria.
what is wrong with these ukrainians?, don’t they know it’s an honor and a privilege to die from uncle sam?!
