Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s statement that military demobilization will happen “only after victory” sounds like “a death sentence for hundreds of thousands of people.”

This was stated by Ukrainian serviceman Denys Yaroslavskyi.

“It’s important for everyone to realize this — especially those who have children and don’t have nine lives to live them over again. Isn’t this the question that echoes today in thousands of Ukrainian families? I imagine all these MPs standing before the combat brigades near Pokrovsk, looking into the eyes of exhausted and worn-out soldiers who have been living in frontline villages like vagrants in basements and cellars since 2022 — with no rotations, no clear prospects, no understanding of when this will end…,” Yaroslavskyi wrote.

He also mentioned the recent Reuters report about the launch of the “Test in Ukraine” program, under which foreign companies will officially be allowed to test their latest weapons on the frontlines in Ukraine.

In his view, “everything that’s happening is turning our country into a testing ground, another Afghanistan,” where “our cities, our fields, our soldiers become objects for experimentation.”
