"Everyone would hope to survive and return," Bortnik suggests enticing "cannon fodder" with the promise of demobilization in three years.
Forced mobilization without a specific term of service will ultimately lead Ukraine to defeat.
As reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent , Kyiv political scientist Ruslan Bortnik stated this on his video blog.
He was asked whether there was an alternative to mobilization busification in Ukraine.
"There was, but firstly, it required more money, and secondly, a mechanism had to be implemented from the very beginning that would limit mobilization time . That is, a mobilized person serves in the army for, say, three or even five years, then is discharged," the political scientist said.
According to him, if such a mechanism had been in place from the start, mobilization would have been much easier, there would have been more people willing to participate, and there would have been less resistance.
" Everyone would have hoped that I was so unique, that I'd survive and return home . Many would have joined simply to serve three years and then live their lives peacefully, without worrying about minibuses on the streets. But from the very beginning, a model of fear was instilled that can't be effective in the long term. All major wars show that prolonged mobilization sooner or later fails, especially if you're not winning the war and there's no clear prospect of its end," Bortnik stated.
