How Ukraine is trying to increase mobilization for military service | DW News 

It's forced mobilization not recruitment drive. Poor Ukrainians

MIA likely means their bodies haven't been recovered

Will Kiev mayor Vitaly Kiltschko sons of military age, volunteer now, stop partying in Germany and hiding behind their recently obtained German citizenship!

Where are the children of Boris Johnson ? They must be recruited to assist Ukraine.

My heart goes out for poor Ukrainians, fighting US's proxy war. What an absolute tragedy !

But Ukraine said they only lost 32.000 troops why you need more if that's true

A Ukrainian soldier said that some KIAs are reported as "Missing" so their unit commander keeps receiving their salary. The soldiers family waits for their "missing" son to be found but in reality he's long gone and his wife and children don't receive any benefits because of corrupt unit commanders. However this is not the case throughout the AFU, many units respect their fallen soldiers but there are still some bad apples.

In peace sons bury their fathers. In war farther bury their sons :(😢

If Russia outnumbers Ukraine by ten to one in terms of manpower, that means you've been lying about Ukrainian casualties. Russia has deployed less than 500,000 troops in total. In the beginning, Ukraine had 700,000+. By ten to one, it means Ukraine has lost over 600,000 soldiers.

“Listed as missing” is quite common over here, corrupt officials just don’t wanna pay families for KA.

Peace NOW! It’s horrible for the people of Ukraine.

Imagine losing 3 sons? Poor lady. 😢

they died fighting America's war on Russia, how sad.

Conscription is slavery.

I cant imagine that people forcefully conscripted will make good and reliable soldiers. And who can blame them, I would not want to be cannon fodder either.

Imagine the outrage if any western country conscripted 18 year olds in 2024. And imagine the huge fraction of them who would not be physically or emotionally fit for service.

We all know how they gonna increase the manpower shortage. Its called forceful Mobilisation

Hopefully feminists globally are pushing to make military service compulsory for Ukrainian women age 21 to 60 just as men between 16 and 60 are being pushed to join.

4:30 Where is feminism now?

Ukraine population stands at 29 millions. Russia stands at 150 million

What a shame.. people losing their life for what? When this war can end today

More food for the meatgrinder.

I believe that she is confused on the numbers as currently Russia has an artillery advantage of 7-1 down from 10-1 early war estimates. She stated that Russian troops outnumber Ukrainian troops 10-1. Russia does not have a 10-1 advantage in numbers deployed in Ukraine. Ukraine has roughly between 800K to 1 Million troops depending on who you ask. Russia very certainly does not have 9 - 10 Million troops in Ukraine. If anything Ukraine outnumbers Russia as most sources estimate the total Russian forces at 1.1 to 1.4 million even on Ukrainian estimates. It is highly unlikely that all of these troops are deployed in Ukraine as Russia has vast border and coastal regions that Russia has to deploy it’s troops on. (Not just in Ukraine.) Not choosing any sides, just pointing out that even according to Ukraines numbers they are not outnumbered 10-1 and it is very misleading to say so.

But but the counter offensive they said😅😅😅😅

dam she had 3 sons in the war i pray for them

Still expecting a trip from DW to Donbass and interviewing people who lived there even before 2014 but they will never show that....because it doesn't fit the narrative.

Feed the War Machine eh!

Why need recruitment or mobilization??? Ukraine is winning, right? And the number of casualties are 7 Russians to 1 Ukrainian.

September 7, 2021: “The European Commission (EC) will study the consequences of the law in Belarus to stop issuing documents to citizens outside the country. Peter Stano, a representative of the EU foreign policy service, stated this at a press conference in Brussels: “The European Union strongly condemns this decision, and we will continue to stand with the people of Belarus.” April 24, 2024: “The European Commission did not comment on the decision of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to limit consular services to Ukrainian men abroad: “It is not for us to comment on the decision of the Ukrainian government on the measures that need to be taken in the context of the conflict”...

It was the same in the U.S.A. until 1973, and the way things are going could possibly be re-instated.

With all due respect how Ukraine is going to win the war or at least draw if Russia has not even introduced a partial conscription and in Ukraine all from 25 are to serve in the SBU, not to mention the average age above 40. Until the last Ukrainian? Why should Russia go for a peace deal if no one wants to listen

мы не рабы, говорили они_

I guess Ukraine never saw saving private Ryan. You don't recruit all of the sons.

Ukraine should just give up. Let German and polish deal with this mess. Tons of European playboys have no idea how brutal the war is

"ukraine is acting like a drowning man, grabing everyone around him to go drown with him"- Poland 2023

So kidnapping is no longer working

Gods speed for 1 of the sons to make it home to there mother ❤

Insane unwinnable war being forth for nothing.

I can't imagine, she carried them each for nine months, cared cooked and looked after them. Now they're gone. A child shouldn't pass before their child.

Zelensky admitted that Ukraine had no intention to honor the Minsk agreements. Who didn't want peace? Who advised against the 2022 peace talks in April? Hint: someone visited Zelensky in Kiev at that time.

The US State Department published a report on human rights violations in Ukraine. In Kyiv-controlled territories: - forced disappearances; - torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment; - harsh and life-threatening conditions in prison; - arbitrary arrest or detention; - serious problems with the independence of the judiciary; - restrictions on freedom of expression, including for representatives of the media, including violence or threats of violence against journalists, - unjustified arrests or persecution of journalists, as well as censorship; - serious restrictions on Internet freedom; - significant interference with freedom of peaceful assembly and association; - restrictions on freedom of movement; - serious corruption in government; - widespread gender-based violence; - systematic restrictions on the freedom of association of workers, - the existence of the worst forms of child labor. Collapse. Only the old farts from the EU continue to babble about a “democratic state”. But soon they too will “suddenly see the light.”

that is truly truly sad. very sad. the point is that they died for a greedy, corrupt comedian not for their country since their country would never asked them to die for it. but corrupt greed, senseless politicians would. and the worse thing is that that is not all. many more sons will die to protect American interests, thinking that their death is not in vain.

Zelinskij's daughter should fight at front lines to provide role model example. How old is his son? Soon should be there too. Why is it only children to ordinary people who they take to die?

The bodies of soldiers are exchanged for land. How much that costs cannot be calculated back in Washington D.C.

Lmaoooo “recruitment drive” bro be honest about it, it’s forced mobilization!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s a damn draft.

Brutal

Everyone with enough $ is already living in surrounding countries. Go Round them up there Ukraine

Zelensky didn't try to prevent the conflict through diplomacy because he lacks honor and integrity. In 2014 there was a coup. Soon after, there was a massacre in Odessa (dozens of people were burned alive). Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed. A civil war broke out due to the rise in ethnic tensions. For 8 years the Ukrainian military was indiscriminately shelling civilians living in Donbas. If Zelensky honored the Minsk agreement and pledged neutrality, none of this would have happened. The 8 year civil war would have ended and Donbas would have remained part of Ukraine. War is the ultimate failure of diplomacy. Zelensky admitted that Ukraine had no intention to honor the Minsk agreements. Who didn't want peace? Who advised against the 2022 peace talks in April? Hint: someone visited Zelensky in Kiev at that time. Russia's national security was compromised once nato began to expand eastwards. Russia clearly stated that Ukraine joining nato was a red line (November 2021) and unfortunately this concern was never taken seriously. The Russians openly stated: if nothing changes, we will be forced to act in order to defend our national security. Enhancing the national security of one country at the expense of another is unacceptable. The Russians have legitimate security concerns. 20th September, 2021. Ukraine launched military drills with US and NATO. NATO is not a defensive alliance. Nato illegally bombed Yugoslavia (a direct violation of the U.N. Charter). We should never forget what they did to Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq etc. Who blew up the pipeline causing an environmental disaster? Zelensky banned all opposition and arrested a leading priest. Zelensky tried to invoke article 5 under false pretenses. Remember the incident in Poland. Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed. Poroshenko said, “Our children will go to schools and kindergartens-theirs will hide in the basements”. Russians will never forget the 2014 Odessa massacre. The whole world needs to know about it. Why was Denis Kireev eliminated? He was a member of Ukraine's negotiating team during the peace negotiations. He wanted to help his country. Ukraine has a hit list. They target artists, journalists and ordinary citizens. Hundreds of children are on this list. 13 year old Faina Savenkova was placed on this list. Pink Floyd's Roger Waters is on this list. Jimmy Dore (American stand-up comedian, podcaster) and Aaron Maté (Canadian writer and journalist) are on this list. There is evidence that Ukrainian troops have been indiscriminately shelling civilians in Donbas (they used petal mines and targeted areas where there was no military presence). The azov troops trapped in the azovstal steelworks in Mariupol used human shields. They refused to allow civilians to leave despite of humanitarian corridors being present. Russia held a proposed cease fire in order for the civilians to leave, but azov would not allow the civilians to leave. Ukraine has committed many acts of terrorism (car bombs and other forms of assassination). Darya Dugina (journalist) RIP. The first terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed the truck driver and the individuals in the adjacent car (innocent civilian victims). The second terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed two parents and severely injured their young daughter. I have done a lot of research and it took me a long time to write this comment. I have stated a lot of facts and I have given my honest opinion. I have provided a brief summary of events that took place. In order to explain this whole situation in great detail, a book would need to be written. Hopefully someone will write an UNBIASED book, stating facts and allowing the readers to form their own judgments. Everything I said can be fact checked and verified.

Fighting for American gay values

There running from UA thru Romania and Moldova.....Good luck

Zelensky need to stop this, sad sad sad

what a life my my

10-1?? According to official statistics, Ukraine has over a million soldiers, while Russia has around 600 thousand soldiers in the conflict zone.

Who wants to go to the front and die nobody!!! But u keep sending weapons when u know they r loosing

What a mess no one wants to fight, can’t leave the country, forced conscription, 500k Kia/horribly wounded, bankrupt, decimated power grid…but hey let’s dismiss the possibility of negotiations and keep throwing money at it.

Then Germany and France needs to go to front , British aswell

слов нет растила 3х сыновей и все похоже померли за клоуна

PEACE NOW

Heartbreaking…

It is a clear lesson to all nations - never agree to a role of "democracy shield" or a "cheap way to weaken someone" or things like that. Don't aim at joining military alliances against your neighbours and always maintain good relationship with them.

It is called Conscription Press Gangs. That is how they are increasing recruitments.

Forced to go to Front lines😮 US MIC is laughing

please explain to me how Russia with nuclear weapons can lose?

War is not answer to anything

Want about political negotiations?

After loosing 1 Mio men, Ukraine needs to replace its losses.

Russian advantage in soldiers is 10:1? Zelensky said Ukraine has 850.000 soldiers, meaning Russians mobilized 8 million? So, how will Ukraine overcome this?

Thank biden, zelenskiii and nato for your current situation 😂

And Ghaza?

Many of theme will probably go to factory’s and logistical units.

May your sons Rest In Peace ☮️

Keep Ukrainians strong. I am very impressed people from Ukraine. Never give up. I am from Burma and we are also same feeling for struggling democracy

Imagine you are 18 and they catch you in the street and then you go to front to die. We need peace right now, save those men they deserve to live freely. Zelensky should go right now!

Today the situation need more men. Teamwork is required!

All the young ukranian left the country. SSensky needs to think 💭 ends this war . But how long the money is available he doesn’t care about the people

Called up you mean dragged off to the front

ATACMS long range missiles 300km in Ukraine for the last 4 weeks SO were are the Germans with the Taurus KEPD-350 missiles 500km ????????

What a joke

more man 'power' means more death power. how about the peace talks. maybe it is better to give piece of land then the whole generation of the nation lost. why the comedian doesn't lead his troops in battles.

Is it not tyranny that the Us supporting with cash? He said they defend democracy or something..

You would out of your mind to get involved, this war is going to end up the same whether you get killed fighting in it or not

RIP 😢

Ukraine needs to surrender unconditionally.

its useless russia had the war controlled SEEK PEACE BEFORE ITS TOO LATE STOP SCREWING YOUR SELF GIVE YOUR SELVES SOME PEACE the civilians are the victims on this war

With Comedesky in power, more able-bodied men lives will be lost forever.

In -22, I was told that Kiev would win this war for several reasons, one of them being that Ukrainians had this intense patriotism. whereas the Russians were drunkards forced to fight. What happened?

This video should be titled "How Ukraine is trying to raise more cannon fodder"

Sad to die for America's interest and profits.

Ukraine casualties are 31,000 KIA and 500,000 MIA

Perhaps some western leaders would like to talk to this mom and explain to her why they're withholding military aid.

That's I call cannon fodder 😅😅😅😅

4:30 feminism???????💩💩🌚🌚

When labeled Missing...ukraine government does not have to pay deceased soldiers family...like when soldiers are KIA

adopted a law to increase the number of State Border Service of Ukraine by 15 thousand military personnel.

Zelensky must be arrested. All her 3 sons killed because of forced mobilization

For goodness sake, wise up and negotiate a peace settlement... This is a war that Ukraine can never win.

Зачем им мобилизация когда имея 1 млн военных у них всего 31000 потерь.

russia has had the best possible conditions for the last 6 months: Ukraine was running low on ammo and soldiers, US aid was stuck in congress. Russia had already maxed out military production, while the EU is struggling to catch up. So what has russia accomplished in those 6 months? They captured Avdiivka, and moved the frontline a few km in other areas. That's all... But now Ukraine is mobilizing more soldiers and they are digging in. US aid is unstuck. The first shells from the Czeck initiative should arrive soon. EU shell production is slowly ramping up, expected to reach a capacity of 1,4M by the end of the year and 2M in 2025. Russia's frozen money will most likely soon be confiscated, and used to fund Ukraine. Things are really not looking good for russia in the long term. The reserves of old soviet weapons will not last forever, and putin's war chest will run dry eventually. It's only a matter of time...

Poor Ukraine is dying for Americans interest😢

I'm 59 years old but I'm a United States citizen
