And not with numbers &#8211; the Russians will always have more soldiers,\u201d he wrote on X.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A complex problem<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who opposes lowering the draft age, underlined recently that what Ukraine needs above all is more weapons to equip its existing military units.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Constant delays by the country\u2019s partners and their hesitancy in supporting Ukraine with modern weapons have degraded the morale of Ukrainians and suppressed their willingness to enlist, writes \u201cTatarigami,\u201d founder of \u201cFrontelligence Insight\u201d military think-tank.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, waiting for enough Western weapons, many of which never arrive, is no solution, he stressed.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ukraine has been reassigning thousands of soldiers from non-infantry roles and units, such as its Air Forces, to infantry to contain Russian pressure.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to &#8220;Tatarigami,\u201d this wastes valuable specialists and undermines the ongoing effort to attract more recruits by giving them control over their role in the army.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The military draft is also increasingly seen as unfair, with wealthy and well-connected people often avoiding it, making others less likely to join too, \u201cTatarigami\u201d noted.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Positive stimuli<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deeper reforms are needed to prove to potential soldiers that their lives are valued in the army and to reverse the trend, he underlined.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This includes a thorough reorganization of military command, better training for new recruits, and better protection of their rights during service and in case of injury.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those in the infantry should also receive better perks, including fixed terms of military service and guaranteed demobilization upon its completion, \u201cTatarigami\u201d argued.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The government is also considering the implementation of a signing bonus equal to some 1,200 euros (1,235 dollars) and an increase in salaries, which range from 500 euros (514 dollars) to 3,000 euros (3,089 dollars) by a further 250 euros (257 dollars) &#8211; although a lack of funds remains a worry.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Things can improve<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the difficulties, Ukraine has so far avoided a major breakthrough by the enemy while defending an immense 1,000-kilometer (621-mile) frontline, Melnyk said.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mobilization struggles do not mean that Ukrainians are not willing to fight for their independence, \u201cTatarigami\u201d underlined, noting that no country in a similar situation could rely only on volunteers.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He pointed out that unlike Russia, which often relies on violence, Ukraine is a democracy and tries to work within legal boundaries. However, its laws are neither ready for wartime nor properly enforced.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anton Grushetskyi, director of Kyiv International Institute of Sociology stressed to EFE that most still agree that mobilization is justified and necessary.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Making it fairer and getting more support from allies could encourage more people to sign up, he said.
