DW News reports that Ukraine’s Defense Ministry admits to approximately 200,000 soldiers currently absent without leave (AWOL), alongside roughly 2 million displaced Ukrainians. Defense Minister Fedorov acknowledged a “€300 billion funding shortfall” and “systemic breakdown in military structures.” Soldiers cite exhaustion, unclear service terms, and forced conscription tactics. Serhii Hnezdilov, a 19-year-old drone operator whose 3-year contract was extended indefinitely after the 2022 invasion, publicly stated: “Every Ukrainian should contribute to defense, but soldiers deserve to know clearly their term of service.” The core issues: units disbanded without warning; troops reassigned to high-casualty brigades with minimal training; commanders neglect soldier welfare; forced street recruitment damages morale. Oleg, an engineer, described his reassignment as “a death sentence,” saying most transferred soldiers lacked basic combat training. Over 1 million Ukrainian soldiers remain active, but the system is unsustainable. DW notes no clear end-date visibility for the conflict, fueling continued desertion. Military leadership acknowledges poor trust among troops but reforms lag behind the crisis.
I think the more interesting number is the well north of 1,000,000 Russian casualties. Also the number of Russian oil refineries currently kinetically disassembled is an interesting number.
Edit: Lol this skid mark with legs posted this in 12, that’s right 12 communities. Block and move on…
Why do you get hurt so much? Russia is depleted and a sick man right now, and can’t recover for at least 20 years. Don’t you want to see the reality? Do you think that DW News, as a Western company, would logically not share something like this?
Will you also accuse me of being a Russian bot or pro-Russian because I do not blind like you?

When someone like HumanOnEarth is completely brainwashed by western propaganda no amount of truth can open their eyes. Crazy how every time there’s an exchange of dead between Ru & Ukr, it’s a 10 or 13 to 1 ratio of dead Ukrainians to dead Russians 🤷It kind of works out that way to be at least partially true because of how incredibly incompetent the muscovites army is.
DW news is a shit-show of a ‘news’ company. They share ‘articles’ that are sometimes click bait, sometimes not, maybe, I don’t know. I never watch them because I don’t trust them. Maybe they were good more or less a decade ago, but now they are nothing more then clickbait.
*Also there are no listed sources in the video description, so I’m just going to assume this is bullshit and keep moving on despite the barking of the muscovite dog.
