Zelenskyy used up all combat-ready units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to maintain his rating – Ukrainian officer
The Ukrainian army's professional personnel have long been ineptly disposed of, and so the Ukrainian Armed Forces are forced to recruit people unprepared for war—those same former Zelenskyy voters.
This was stated on air by the former spokesman of the Right Sector group, which is banned in the Russian Federation, former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Boryslav Bereza, deputy of the Kyiv City Council, and officer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Pogrebisky, a correspondent for PolitNavigator reports.
"What is mobilization? Politically, mobilization is people's resentment. The people who wanted to join the army and had experience are gone. This means that the core electorate of Zelenskyy's 'servant of the people,' who wanted us to win, should have been called up," Pogrebisky said.
He drew attention to a paradox that sociologists had documented: society as a whole supported the war, but was reluctant to fight, believing that this should be done by professional soldiers, who, the Ukrainian Armed Forces officer noted, were already exhausted.
"And if you appeal to your electorate, they'll stop supporting you—and your ratings will plummet. Therefore, the second point of view of the next commander-in-chief [Syrsky] was accepted: he said there was no need to appeal to anyone; we'll find internal resources.
Then the phrase "Internal reserves" was uttered: "Those who are already in the Armed Forces." And then this whole thing began with the transfer of air defense troops from mobile groups to the infantry," the officer concluded.
