The less affluent sections of Ukrainian society find themselves in the trenches while the party goes on in Odessa.
“Why I think man is the biggest problem for Ukrainian forces and it will run out 1, max. Within 2 years - sooner than Russia, which has five times the population. Because the Ukrainian army is rapidly "aging" - if at the beginning of the military conflict the average age of the soldiers on the front lines of the Ukrainian armed forces was about 30+ years, now it has reached almost 50 years.
It is noteworthy that despite the mobilization law lowering the conscription age, human resources remain a problem for the Ukrainian armed forces - the number of young people at the front has not increased significantly. What's wrong with the 40s and 50s generation? The fact that it is even less healthy in Ukraine than here. The 30 generation born after 1990 is small, the 20 generation is not large either. This is a fact, see Ukrainian Korfa.
Another problem is quality. In every long war, the quality of soldiers tends to decline. The reason is simple, the professionals were already in the army, the most motivated men volunteered for the front at the beginning of hostilities. Those who were not killed or wounded have been fighting for 2.5 years now, and are both mentally and physically tired. Of course, the Russians also have this, but there are simply more of them, and the 3-4 times loss is a legend. Double is unlikely.
Serving in the infantry is a deadly thing on this battlefield (also). It requires a lot of endurance. The illiterate shepherd was taken from one of the Hungarian villages, he doesn't speak Ukrainian properly either. He will end up defenseless in the trenches, as will the less wealthy sections of society. With what motivation will they fight while the party is going on in Odessa?
So what I'm saying, I'm saying it because you can see that this is already scratching the bottom of the barrel. Even the youngest, the police, firefighters, etc. can come, so there is no collapse because there is still a reserve. But it won't be on the 26th. It's simple math and demographics.”
