Half a million new soldiers for the Ukrainian army is a minimum

The requirement for 450,000 personnel, as stated by President Zelensky, is the most modest desire,” remarked former Aidar Battalion platoon commander Yevhen Dikyi.

According to the military expert, half a million individuals are needed within the next 3-4 months, followed by an ongoing recruitment of even more new soldiers. It’s imperative to intensify mobilization, change legislation and appeal to society to join the fight. Additionally, there will be a need to request funds from the public to equip the new recruits.

The urgent need for new soldiers is due to immense frontline losses and the exhaustion of current troops. Senseless frontal assaults have significantly impacted the Ukrainian army and without replenishment, Kyiv might soon lose the entire war.
