Criticism of the commander of the Ukrainian army on the reform of the conscription law

According to the report of Fars News Agency International Group, “Valery Zalogeny”, the commander of the Ukrainian army, held an unprecedented press conference in response to a plan by the Kiev government to amend the law on recruiting soldiers and criticized these reforms. /p>

Zalogeny held his first wartime press conference on Tuesday, a day after Ukraine’s parliament approved draft reforms to the army’s recruitment program, including lowering the minimum wage. He published the military age from 27 to 25 and emphasized that he is not satisfied with these reforms. On the other hand, it forced Zalogeni, who rarely gives interviews to the media, to hold a press conference that was unprecedented during the war in Ukraine.

Zalogeni said in this press conference: “I’m not satisfied with the recruitment offices at the moment.” Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, announced a few days ago that the country’s army has proposed the mobilization of 450,000 to 500,000 new soldiers. He confirmed the figure, but told reporters in Kiev that he personally never wanted the figure to be made public. This comment of his has intensified the speculations about the existence of political differences between him and the president of Ukraine.

The commander of the Ukrainian army said: “I do not present such figures publicly. »

Zalogeny oversaw the implementation of the Ukrainian military’s 2023 counteroffensive, which failed to make significant progress.

He stated: “We had ambitious goals for 2023. I am not disappointed with the level of foreign aid to Ukraine in 2023. Of course, these aids were not equivalent to all that we requested, but they allowed us to carry out military operations with confidence.” It was revealed that the commander of the Ukrainian army spoke about the stalemate in the war and Zelensky disagreed with his words. Over time, people realized that what I said was completely true.”

The commander of the Ukrainian army also warned that the city of Avdiyoka will suffer the fate of Bakhmut and be captured by Russian forces in two to three months. .
