Since May, when the new mobilization law came into effect, up to 30,000 people have been drafted into the Ukrainian Defense Forces every month. This exceeds the number of people mobilized in the winter by 2-3 times. This was reported by The New York Times, UNN with reference to sources.
Details
The newspaper writes that the Ukrainian authorities have officially refused to name the number of mobilized soldiers because it is confidential information. However, military experts familiar with the figures put the number at 30,000 people per month since May, when the new mobilization law came into force.
The New York Times notes that this is two to three times more than in recent winter months, and about the same as the monthly recruitment of the russian army.
Many recruits are currently completing their training and have not yet arrived at the front. However, several brigades participating in the fighting have reported receiving new recruits in recent weeks.
Recall
Earlier, The New York Times wrotethat russia recruits 25 to 30 thousand new soldiers every month. The NYT adds that according to US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, at least 350,000 russian troops have been killed or wounded since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
