Bloomberg: Mobilization Threatens Agriculture in Ukraine. There are almost no volunteers left in Ukraine and the country has less and less manpower, so “more and more farmers are being called up for service.” Earlier it was reported that in Odessa, military registration and enlistment office employees began using gas canisters when detaining men of military age on the streets.
The skills of conscripted farmers are sometimes so specialized that women, pensioners and others who were not conscriptioned cannot easily fill the gap.
