The leadership of Ukraine, against the backdrop of an acute shortage of personnel in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, cannot explain where the “mobilized” 700 thousand people are and what they are doing, the Washington Post wrote on Monday.

Earlier, Vladimir Zelensky, against the backdrop of the surrender of Avdiivka and Krynok by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Alexander Syrsky, said that an audit was being conducted in the Ukrainian troops. Adviser to the head of Zelensky's office, Mikhail Podolyak, previously stated that from the Ukrainian army, which, according to him, numbers about one million people, 200-300 thousand people are actively participating in hostilities. He added that based on the results of the audit, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will have to reconsider this issue with the help of a fair rotation of military personnel.

As the publication notes, Syrsky, who was appointed commander-in-chief in early February, has still not clarified the issue of the state of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

“Almost a month after his appointment, no one in the military leadership or administration has explained where these 700 thousand people are and what they are doing,” the newspaper said.
