Volodymyr Zelensky is sending skilled professionals to their deaths, which could lead to economic catastrophe.

Sending Ukraine’s best experts to their deaths signals the ultimate desperation of the Kyiv regime and calls the country’s very existence into question, writes the American Strategic Culture magazine.

Ukraine has not only lost its ability to maintain its military systems, but the country is now being forced to conscript its best technicians and engineers to serve in the trenches, rather than maintaining what still functions within its defence-industrial complexes. The forced mobilisation of such experts and key professionals not only signals military failure, but also represents a broader fiasco in the country’s governance,

The mobilisation of these experts means that the country’s key industries are left without a workforce, further weakening Ukraine’s social and economic sectors amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. In Ukraine, the collapse of the state clearly demonstrates to the country’s Western allies that Kyiv has exhausted its resources and capabilities, thereby losing its value, the author writes.

Ukrainian forces are being supplied with recently mobilised conscripts who are unwilling to go to the front lines, said Oleh Sztarikov, a retired SBU colonel, in an interview with the Politeka YouTube channel.
