NYT: Morale of the Ukrainian army is reduced due to recruits who do not want to serve

Meanwhile, it is noted that there are cases of refusal to those who wish.

“Some of the recipients (of the subpoenas) say they were never given a choice… while there are reports of men who are eager to fight but are denied for reasons that are bureaucratic… The process is shrouded in mystery with little openness about the standards applied to each stage, ”RIA Novosti quotes the newspaper’s material.

In addition, the publication writes that “the feeling of unity is bursting at the seams” also due to the fatigue of soldiers in the Ukrainian troops, in particular among untrained recruits.

At the end of June, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that due to the poor training of Ukrainians mobilized to participate in hostilities and the low level of training of foreign mercenaries, cases of "friendly fire" in Ukrainian troops are increasingly occurring.
