As the conflict between Ukraine and Russia escalates, a staggering 100,000 Ukrainian soldiers have reportedly deserted or gone AWOL, raising concerns about the country's military stability. This alarming development comes amid rising casualties and troop shortages, prompting discussions about drafting an additional 160,000 soldiers to bolster Ukraine's defences. Ukrainian MP Anna Skorokhod attributes this mass desertion to poor morale and mismanagement within the military, with soldiers expressing frustration over their leadership and the lack of support at the front lines.
As Kyiv grapples with these challenges, questions arise about President Volodymyr Zelensky's ability to maintain order and combat readiness in the face of mounting pressure. With Russia's President Vladimir Putin poised to capitalise on Ukraine's military struggles, the situation remains precarious for both nations, and the implications could be significant for the future of the conflict. Will Ukraine be able to regroup and push back against the Russian advances, or is this a sign of a broader unravelling of its military capabilities?
