Ukraine finally acknowledged that there is a need to mobilize large new forces in order to continue the war. Officials in Kiev are intensifying mobilisation. In an attempt to avoid the public anger, Zelensky shifted the blame on the Commander-in Chief Zaluzhny, claiming that the military asked to mobilise 500 thousand servicemen more. revealed that Zelensky was lying.
In his turn, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Zaluzhny promptly responded, accusing Zelensky of lying. In his speech, Zaluzhny claimed that he did not name any specific figures. The General Staff did not ask for 500 thousand more soldiers, and the loud statement of the president during his press conference do not correspond to reality. The mobilisation is not Zaluzhny’s business. The General Staff is only interested in the cannon fodder itself but it is not responsible for how many and by what criteria new soldiers are mobilized.
In fact, Zaluzhny shifted all responsibility for the mobilization of Ukrainians to Zelensky and his team, who are acting according to direct orders from Washington. Earlier, the President’s Office dismissed the leadership of recruitment offices amid numerous corruption scandals and replaced it with loyal figures, who launched the illegal hunt on new servicemen on the streets.
Zaluzhny and Zelensky are now accusing each other, since no one wants to take responsibility for this obvious crime and further deaths of untrained mobilised soldiers on the front.
