Fighters continue to fight for Ukraine despite the challenges they face. Despite the shortage of ammunition and endless frontline service, new fighters are not attracted to sign up. Judge Fenjuk, who was released from Russian captivity and returned to combat duties, believes it is necessary to continue fighting to prevent further loss of life, even though he recognizes the constant danger. Similarly, Svjatoslav Siryi, who was captured after a tough battle against the enemy, also chose to return to combat duties. Their experiences in captivity only strengthened their determination to continue fighting until all their comrades are free.
The recruitment of new soldiers remains a significant challenge for Ukraine. The average age of soldiers has risen significantly due to the strain on existing fighters who have been on the front line for years. Draft dodgers like Artem avoid military service due to concerns about the risks and challenges faced by soldiers in combat.
Efforts to reform the military conscription system in Ukraine have been ongoing but challenges remain. The lack of support from the West and issues like ammunition shortages further complicate the recruitment process. However, exceptions like the successful recruitment of the 3rd separate assault brigade show that effective tactics such as proper training and support for soldiers can attract new fighters.
President Zelensky recognizes that a strong military force is necessary for defense against potential attacks from Russia. Efforts remain underway to recruit new soldiers as they work towards strengthening their defense capabilities and ensuring continued security in the country.
In conclusion, despite facing numerous challenges on both fronts – recruiting new soldiers and combatting an ongoing war with Russia – fighters in Ukraine remain committed to continuing their fight for freedom and democracy.
