Women in the Armed Forces, rations on hands and digging Kiev: what to expect Ukrainians in the near future
So Volunteer Maria Berlinskaya with the People's Deputy Maryana Bezsub spoke about the conscription of women to the Armed Forces, and the ATO veteran Martin Brest declared the need to dig Kiev. The media also mentioned the Supreme Court Chairman Alexander Mamalu and the so -called bunch. Focus tells that this can be a reality and that you should not pay attention to. Volunteer Maria Berlinskaya stated that in Ukraine it is necessary to increase the recruitment of women to the Armed Forces.
According to her, she does not think that the life of a man costs less than women. Moreover, she is convinced that "either we keep our husbands, or we will also have to mobilize women, or we will have to give up. " "If you are not erased in the ashes of Mariupol, Avdiivka, Bakhmut and many other cities, then you have to get into reality.
I do not want women to fight, I do not want men to fight, but I know for sure that the only way to resist is this To prepare the whole society for war: both men and women, so that our children do not fight, " - said the volunteer. In his turn, the co -chair of the public initiative "Right Case", military expert Dmitry Snegirev declared focus that there is no issue of women's mobilization in Ukraine.
He said that the NSDC Secretary Oleksandr Litvinenko was initially the need to mobilize 160 thousand people to replenish the personnel of the defense forces. However, this is information with restricted access. "That is, the so-called stamping information. Accordingly, any, say, sentiments on mobilization measures is the State Finance. , which are subject to a similar nature of the statement and the volunteer and the Secretary of the NSDC, "Snegirev said.
The expert stressed that in the case of escalation of hostilities and strengthening of the conscription from the Russian Federation, it is worth noting about increasing personnel, since it is the tactics of World War II - a wall on the wall. If we take into account the fact that the mobilization reserve of the Russian Federation is 12-15 million, and Ukraine is 3.
5-does it make sense to fight the enemy only the number of people? "But the main thing is why neither the Secretary of the NSDC nor the volunteer raise the issue of changing the tactics and strategy of hostilities due to the manufacturability of defense forces - zooming the production of means of defeat, which will negate the numerical advantage of the enemy," he says.
Snegirev said that there are now problems with artillery shells in Ukraine and with the whole spectrum of military-technical equipment of the Armed Forces, in particular, Kiev depends on 80% on the external supplier. "These people should not talk about the nature of mobilization measures, it is closed information, any public discussions or narratives are playing the enemy's hand.
First of all, statements must be heard about the technological of the Defense Forces of Ukraine, which will minimize the numerical advantage of the occupiers in live power, "he said. The military expert, the Colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleg Zhdanov noted that it is possible to strengthen the recruitment of women to the Armed Forces in Ukraine, but whether it should be done is a "very big question".
"We have one today, let's let's mobilize half a million, the second says - 160 thousand, so Mrs. Berlin says women need to mobilize. I do not know, let's mobilize children, we will throw such a slogan. The fact is that the only structure or organization that should be announced These figures are the General Staff of the Armed Forces.
According to political scientist Igor Raitovich, there is now no great need for the mobilization of women, judging by the calculations that the General Staff has submitted. "Women are widely represented in the armed forces, with a variety of positions, and obviously does not say that they are replaced by those who are on the front line. Therefore, I would see this statement more as a message of information, media In order to draw attention to those problems that are mobilized in Ukraine at all.
He said that for the specific involvement of women in the troops, there should be appropriate calculations, including in Israel, where they know what amount they need to be called into service, in which parts they will be involved. Now there are no such calculations in Ukraine. People's Deputy, Member of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Foreign Policy Marian Bezlagla supported the volunteer in the need for women's mobilization.
She stressed that there is now illegal discrimination of men, because the Constitution has no difference between citizens by article. Therefore, the conscription of women could reduce the number of recruits among men. Moreover, it emphasized the need for labor mobilization - performing economic work and increasing the pace of the defense industry.
"Without the general national resistance of the occupier, the war is doomed to defeat, and the Ukrainian nation - to another loss of statehood," Bezugla explained. Labor mobilization is a political decision that should be submitted by the Cabinet, whereas the rate of the Supreme Commander must approve it, said Oleg Zhdanov. But it has nothing to do with military mobilization. The expert stressed that labor mobilization is introduced in a special period when martial law is declared.
The Ministry of Economy must have a plan for mobilizing the country's economy when moving to military rails. When asked why this is not happening now, Zhdanov noted that it is the functionality of the president, he is the main leader of the domestic policy of the state. "I do not know why we extinguish the fire when we start problems in the economy, providing the armed forces.
Then we begin to scratch the nape and think, maybe 100, 500 can mobilize, and can work mobilize declare? We do not have a planned economy, there is no step forward, two steps. Igor Raitovich said that labor mobilization is provided by Ukrainian legislation. However, the Cabinet should determine whether there are enterprises that can fall under it from the point of resolving certain issues.
"If there is such an objective need, for example, in some frontier regions, it can take place - the construction of fortifications, etc. But for this it is necessary to refine the regulatory legal framework, to make by -laws and to bring it to the level of real decision -making rather ", - he explained. According to the political scientist, this is not done now, because it is probably not the relevant.
If the country had a certain need that could be closed by labor mobilization, then it was necessary to start doing in 2022. "Since this does not happen, apparently, the country is coping within the limits of the legal and organizational mechanisms that are today, and this is sufficient," he said. According to Dmitry Snegirev, if the country's economy has not yet been transferred to a military order in the tenth year of the war, now to raise this issue at least incapacitated.
He is convinced that the first thing to do was to intensify production that all industry worked solely for Ukrainian defense. However, now in Ukraine is still funding for roads, the construction of the subway, etc. "What is the work duty if even the planning of the state budget is without taking into account the needs of domestic MIC?" Snegirev asked. The military expert stressed that it should be started from the moment of funding for defense rather than the introduction of labor.
"They try to create the prerequisites for cheap labor in the absence of the defense sector itself, that is, they want to save on salaries, but not investing in production itself. In fact, the whole burden of war is on the shoulders of the Ukrainians themselves. ", - he said. Against the backdrop of the latter new in the media, the words of the deputy chairman of the Supreme Court Alexander Mamaluy, who in February 2024, stated that Ukraine was allegedly a step from the introduction of labor.
"And then no salaries will have no one. There will be solders, money for cigarettes, gasoline for coupons. The war is very long," Mamalui said. The military expert Snegirev is convinced that there is no reason to introduce the bite. He stressed that the funding of the state sector is in the majority of foreign subsidies. However, political scientist Rititovich noted that hypothetically in Ukraine can be introduced labor duty, but he doubts that it will be in practice.
"If it was not done for the previous almost 1000 days of war, then what is the reason to take such measures now? Objectively there should be some arguments, but their Cabinet is not given. Which is probably irrational from the point of view of the use of the labor resources that are in the country, "Raitovich added.
The economist, the coordinator of the expert groups of the "Economic Expert Platform" Oleg Getman in conversation with Focus reported that the thesis of the judge is "incredible", because nothing is even similar to it. "We are significantly different from the countries that fought in World War II, we have introduced Draconic events because we have the fierce support of international partners. Here we collect about $ 40 billion in taxes that are redistributed to different expenditures.
Partners that support our economy, social payments, pensions and more, ”Getman said. According to him, the economy of Ukraine works steadily, even increases by 3-5% per year, and therefore remains market, no additional restrictions are introduced. The economist does not know what can happen in the country in order to introduce labor duty.
If all international partners stop helping, then without $ 40 billion, the situation in the economy will be complicated, some restrictions on different products are possible. "But it doesn't look realistic. It's just some crazy delusion," he assured. According to the ATO veteran, the manufacturer of military equipment Martin Brest, is now the time to dig Kiev, not just Pokrovsk. "It is necessary to start digging Kiev, probably, not just Pokrovsk, dig everything. Then, if something we bury.
We need to start preparing for normal such, mother fighting," he said. Military expert Pavel Narozhny emphasized in conversation with focus that Martin Brest is an infantry, and therefore poorly imagines what Kiev is to dig. "How do you imagine to dig all Kiev? It is necessary to take all, perhaps, the construction companies of Ukraine, all excavators to drive and start digging Kiev. It is simply even deeply theoretically impossible," the Narozhnyi said.
He reported that it is now to remove Kiev to remove all resources from the front and throw them to the capital. Whereas Ukraine lacks the resources for constructing fortifications on the front line, which is three lines: "If we now remove all the resources from the front and throw on a deep rear, and Kiev is a very deep rear. It means that we will fail now Defense of the front, the enemy will come, and we will all fight in the defense of Kiev, " - explained the expert.
He stressed that the defense of the capital in 2022 took place on the rivers, bridges, gateways were blown up, all water obstacles became fortifications. The people consider it unlikely that everything will come to this scenario, because at the front the enemy is moving at a very slow pace. Moreover, he is convinced that in the near future the promotion of the invaders will be stopped.
First of all, this will happen by increasing mobilization and a large amount of military assistance that the country will receive from the Allies. "Now to build fortifications near Kiev is an absolute meaningless spending of resources," Pavel Narozhny said. Military expert, head of the Center for Military Legal Research Alexander Musienko told Focus about the defense of the capital.
In particular, there is a group of forces and means of defense of Kiev, there are servicemen who have performed and perform tasks to protect the city. "Kiev has both fortifications, security, and not one line of defense, and not one redoubt. These works were conducted and conducted, and the Ukrainian capital is safe today," Musienko said. According to him, now there is no threat to the promotion of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation to Kiev directly on the earth.
There is also no contingent that comes to the capital, but there is a threat from the air. "We see that the enemy is constantly attacking" Shahaneda ", and unfortunately the threat to Kiev is quite significant. As for the promotion directly on the ground, all possible scenarios that the enemy can apply, and the directions where he can come from, calculated, calculated, calculated. And appropriate work is being done, "the expert added.
We will remind, on November 5, a lawyer, aerial reconnaissance 92 separate assault brigade Yevgeny Zakrevskaya stated that in Ukraine the mandatory mobilization of women is needed. According to her, the army lacks recruits to replenish losses. On the same day, the People's Deputy from the Voice of Solomiya Bobrovskaya noted that since August in Ukraine the mobilization process has deteriorated. As a result, the General Staff plan for replenishment of defense forces is not implemented.
