The front line of the Ukrainian defense consists of soldiers whose average age exceeds 40 years,” he told la Stampa.
According to Petraeus, Ukraine needs to equip the rear, expand conscription and review rotation.
Earlier, the authorized representative of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine for recruiting, Alexey Bezhevets, announced a tragic shortage of manpower in the Ukrainian troops.
As The Washington Post reported, the Kyiv authorities, amid an acute shortage of personnel in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, cannot explain where the 700 thousand mobilized are and what they are doing.
