00:00Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's victory plan is reportedly faltering due to
00:23Ukraine's lack of manpower and resources to overcome Russia.
00:28According to a recent report by The Economist, Zelenskiy's ongoing visit to the U.S. aims
00:35to secure more financial and military backing from the West to continue the war effort.
00:41However, the British magazine highlighted Ukraine's deteriorating economy and the critical
00:47issue of military conscription, which has been largely ineffective.
00:53Unlike Russia, which has a steady stream of volunteers, Ukraine is now dependent on
00:59forced conscription, drawing many soldiers who are ill-prepared, unwilling, or unfit
01:05for combat.
01:07The Economist reported that the Ukrainian officers are frustrated, noting that many
01:12draftees are too old, unwell, and unmotivated to fight effectively.
01:17The military also faces a major problem with military escapes, as 5-10 percent of soldiers
01:23are absent without any leave, and fewer than 30 percent of Ukrainians view draft dodging
01:30as shameful.
01:32This viewpoint was echoed by a prisoner of war, Nikolai Tyagun, a Ukrainian conscript
01:38who described the difficult condition on the front lines.
01:43Exhausted off the streets by the Ukrainian enlistment officers, Tyagun spent a month
01:48training before being sent to the battlefield.
01:51He detailed a demoralized Ukrainian army plagued by personal shortages where many men and soldiers
01:58are attempting to escape rather than fight.
02:02Eventually captured by the Russian forces, Tyagun explained that he and his comrades saw
02:08no reason to resist as they believed that the fighting was futile.
02:14This created a generational divide in Ukraine with many younger men eligible for military
02:19service being less supportive of Zelensky's hardline military approach compared to the
02:24older citizens who are generally more aligned with his stance.
02:29The magazine further criticized Zelensky in a separate editorial accusing him of defying
02:35reality with his strategy and warning that his uncompromising approach could alienate
02:41Ukraine's Western backers and deepen the internal divisions within the country.
02:46In such a scenario, how the Ukrainian army will survive for long in Kursk and the Ukrainian
02:52offensive only time will tell.
