Mobilization 500 thousand to the Armed Forces: Does one fighter really need 1 million UAH - political scientist (video)

With a million people during the war, the issue of their rotation would be themselves, says political scientist Yaroslav Bozhko. Any news associated with mobilization can be perceived by the Ukrainian society more acute and Russians in their social networks are able to use it, dispersing panic. However, it should be understood that all the conversations about the "half a million to mobilize" does not mean real mobilization in a matter of days or even months.

Political scientist Yaroslav Bozhko told this in an interview with focus. "In the strength of self -defense of Ukraine, there are already a close million people, but of course, not all of them are at the front - this is a total number," the political scientist said. "However, many units need a stock of fighters, because without a full rotation, without rest or replacement of the wound will fall.

" According to Yaroslav Bozhko, the number of needs for mobilization to the Armed Forces is quite expected and quite appropriate, and the statements of the authorities on this topic were competent, because they were ahead of panic. The authorities explained to all citizens in a timely manner so that they would not be subject to provocations on the information front about a kind of "radical mobilization" of all around.

It is the realities of the existence of a million army, which requires the rotation and replacement of wounded and outstanding fighters. According to the political scientist, such information about mobilization will in no way play negatively on Western assessments of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces, because our partners have never criticized mobilization measures in the country.

Any adequate state understands that such measures are necessary in wartime when the people are threatened with complete destruction from the occupiers. "In general, it is quite normal to support Ukraine in such issues," the expert emphasizes. According to the number of Ukrainian army, a similar question would still be raised, notes the specialist. Even if Ukraine was running even more fighting in 2023, the problem of replenishment and rotation would not disappear anywhere.

With regard to the statements of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky about the need for expenses of UAH 1 million for each mobilized, according to Yaroslav Bozhko, this amount also included the training of the mobilized, their ammunition, ammunition, salaries and more. And it is necessary to spend funds on transporting these military to the front, their food, health care, and many other expenses incurred by the state to provide such a large army.

"It is also a powerful signal to our partners so that they do not stop Ukraine's financial support," the political scientist says. "It is necessary to understand that the event cannot allocate funds in the Armed Forces directly, but allocating them to support the Ukrainian economy, thus it helps to release money for these needs It is from the Ukrainian budget.
