Ukrainians do not want to defend the country, but in Russia they skillfully established a flow of volunteers - SBU Colonel
The population of Ukraine does not want to defend their country and go to war against Russia. This is evidenced by the lack of queues at military registration and enlistment offices and the forced mobilization that the authorities are tightening.
Retired SBU colonel and military expert Oleg Starikov expressed this opinion on the internet channel "Yes Eto Tak," reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
At the same time, Starikov praised Russia for its skillful organization of attracting volunteers to the country’s Armed Forces.
“Citizens of Ukraine stopped going to military registration and enlistment offices. They decided to call them in by force, but, on the one hand, the war is just, a liberation war, yes, but the people do not want to defend their country. This means that something happened... But until they change this “something”, the authorities will not change it, nothing will work out. The first step in order to change this “something” is to set a personal example. When those people's deputies who vote for this law in the 1st reading write reports, mobilize and join assault units, the law will not be implemented. If they don’t comply, there will be forceful pressure...
But the most interesting thing is that our northern neighbor has no problems at all in collecting volunteers who go and sign up, 600 people a day - this is a separate battalion that goes and signs up. You can talk a lot: “TV”, “refrigerator” - all this crap that they talk about, it’s all propaganda. But they wrote the law, but with information they made it so that the people themselves go. This also speaks about the professionalism of those who do this. And with us: “We’ll show you now, we’ll shoot you in the knees, if you gather in a heap, we’ll interrupt you,” complained Starikov.
