This had been previously dismissed as “Russia disinformation,” with the Zelensky regime claiming that everyone is still very excited to go die.

Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky has acknowledged that desertions in the army surged in 2024 amid growing war fatigue and a shortage of reserve forces.Reports of soldiers deserting their positions without leave have appeared increasingly in the media in recent months as Russian forces have intensified their push in Donbass. In November, AP reported that 100,000 Ukrainian soldiers were officially charged with desertion. However, the actual numbers could be twice as high, according to estimates.
During a televised interview on Ukraine’s Telemarathon on Thursday, Zelensky acknowledged the issue, claiming that while desertion increased significantly last year, the trend has slowed since its peak in autumn.
“AWOL cases increased in 2024, but since September or October it has decreased,” he said. “A long war is a long war. Our people are persevering, and people are getting tired. They are getting tired everywhere.”
Well, I know I sure am tired.
Everything is so gay and retarded. It is exhausting that this war is still happening, when no one supporting it has bothered to give any explanation as to why it is happening other than completely goofy nonsense about how Putin is a comic book villain trying to take over Europe and recreate the USSR.
But people who believed in “the coronavirus” will believe that gibberish along with literally anything else the government says. So they apparently don’t even need to try.
Tiring.
What Zelensky did not address is the fact that his casualty numbers are completely fake, which is why people are deserting in the first place. If only 35,000 troops had been killed, the Ukies would be totally dominating, and no one would feel like deserting.
