Ukraine\u2019s mobilization drive has turned into a \u201cshameful hunt\u201d for the country\u2019s own citizens, Georgy Mazurashu says<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kiev\u2019s violent mobilization drive has proven to be extremely damaging to the country\u2019s military capabilities and economy, Ukrainian MP Georgy Mazurashu has said, condemning the effort as a \u201cshameful hunt.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n

The actions of the enlistment officers \u201cunder the guise of so-called mobilization work\u201d<\/em> have been \u201chorrifying,\u201d<\/em> Mazurashu told the Superpozitsiya YouTube channel on Tuesday, adding that the country\u2019s soldiers are treated as \u201cslaves.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has an extremely negative impact on both the spirit of the citizens and the economy… The consequences are extremely negative and large-scale for defense capabilities,\u201d<\/em> the MP said.<\/p>\n

The lawmaker described the mobilization effort as a \u201cshameful hunt for citizens,\u201d<\/em> arguing that it is failing to fulfill its primary goal of replenishing the ranks of the military, which is experiencing persistent shortages of frontline \u201ctrench and assault\u201d<\/em> personnel. Some Ukrainian soldiers are so burnt-out that they even see death as a \u201ccertain relief,\u201d<\/em> the MP said, citing frontline medics he spoke with.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that there are that many burnt-out soldiers is a result of our, excuse me, retarded slave-owning Soviet system, which, unfortunately, still prevails in our armed forces, where the base-level command perceives the military as slaves, their slaves, the slaves of the system, the army, and the state itself,\u201d<\/em> Mazurashu stated.<\/p>\n

Ukraine\u2019s mobilization effort has grown increasingly chaotic and violent as the conflict with Russia has progressed. The process is popularly known under the moniker \u2018busification,\u2019 which describes the practice of violently packing recruits into unmarked minibuses.<\/p>\n

The campaign has been marred by numerous instances of abuse and violence, some of which have resulted in serious injuries and even the deaths of draftees. The latest incident occurred in the city of Nikolayev on Wednesday, when a man jumped to his death from a road bridge as he attempted to flee enlistment officials.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kiev has long denied experiencing any issues related to mobilization, routinely dismissing them as \u201cRussian propaganda.\u201d<\/em> This year, however, the military acknowledged the process had encountered certain shortcomings. \u201cBusification is a shameful phenomenon, and we\u2019re doing our best to avoid it,\u201d<\/em> deputy head of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, Ivan Gavrilyuk, said in April.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
