The number of desertions in Ukraine is rapidly increasing. Since the beginning of the year, the lawyer General of this country has initiated 51,000 criminal proceedings concerning escapes from individuals. That's twice as much as last year. Looks like the soldiers are tired of war. The case was described by “The Times”.

Giant wave of desertion from the Ukrainian army. According to military experts, the fast increase in cases of arbitrary detachment from troops is linked to the deficiency of announced demobilisation. But that's not the only reason. Soldiers are tired of war, angry at the authorities, and depressed by the increasing Russian advantage and deficiency of their own successes on the front.

Ukrainians who decided to service in the military during the first days of the Russian invasion are physically and mentally exhausted. This makes escaping the battlefield a very attractive option. The problem of desertion, according to experts from The Times, is besides linked to the issue of demobilization and interior regulations in the Ukrainian army. In April this year, the authorities negotiated fresh government on recruits and increased the capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Then, after the intervention of the fresh Chief Commander of the Syrian Alexander, it was decided to remove the evidence limiting military service to 3 years.

“Demobilisation activities will lead to a decline in the combat capabilities of the units, disruption of offensive and defensive activities and interference of unit rotation” – it was then written in the Command Communication. Although the solution extended the “resurs” of the choice units, many soldiers became convinced that they would service until their death or the end of the war. This is not a very comfortable situation, especially since they are aware of the existence of thousands of decoupers who fled to Poland and another countries of western Europe for bribes, where they organization and crash in costly cars.

Interestingly, the situation does not improve the forced mobilisation of recruits. Secretary of the Committee of the ultimate Council for National Security, Defence and Intelligence Roman Kostenko pointed out that fresh recruits are heavy forced into service. They do not so present the assumed combat value.

We're having problem mobilizing. It's gotten worse lately. I have a question: how can we establish clear terms of service if we have no 1 to replace us? This is primarily about the mobilisation and motivation of people He said.

“The Times” described the case of 1 of the deserters who seems symptomatic of the full Ukrainian armed forces. After spending many months in villages around Bachmut, a man named Serhij Hnezdilow was given a weekly leave to go to medical examinations. Leaving his recon unit in 56.
