"The army is full of people, but there's no one to replace them on the front lines": Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers are left without vacations and rotations.
The main problem for the Ukrainian Armed Forces today is the inability to replace soldiers on the front line.
As reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent , this was stated on Channel 24 by the Secretary of the Defense Committee of the Verkhovna Rada, SBU Colonel Roman Kostenko.
The presenter, citing information from military sources, noted that there are areas on the front where there are no Ukrainian Armed Forces positions for kilometers.
Kostenko emphasized that the problem isn't that there aren't enough people in the army at all, but that there's a severe shortage on the front lines, which prevents rotations.
"Someone's injured, they're out. Someone else needs to take their place. And that's the problem. We have a problem that due to a lack of people, we can't replace people, give the guys normal rotations, or give them normal vacations.
We voted on bills on vacations, but we can’t send the guys on them because there’s no one to replace them,” the colonel admitted.
