Middle Age - 50 years: in the Bakhmut direction there are not enough people - military Armed Forces (video)

The deputy commander of the 2nd assault battalion of the 5th OSBR Alexei Tarasenko said this on the air of Radio Liberty. According to him, the lack of quality personnel on this area of ​​the front is even more acute than the problem with ammunition, so the issue of mobilization in the Armed Forces is not even discussed. "This is how obvious in the troops the problem that no one is discussing it.

Obviously, the units are exhausted, bleeding, people are extremely tired in one and a half or two years of continuous performance of combat missions. Without rotation, without proper rest. Therefore, the troops seem irreversible and essential Step mobilization. Not 50-55-year-old men with a bunch of health problems, but young men who will really significantly exacerbate the grouping of the armed forces and allow both the defense and in certain areas to perform the offensive tasks, "Tarasenko said.

He added that the units are replenished, but this is not enough, and the newcomers are not well trained. "It's not just a lack of people, it is a critical shortage. The insignificant replenishment that comes to the units is extremely poor in both the level of preparation and age. The average age of people who come - 50 years, so to say that It somehow affects the situation, it is impossible.

It is the first problem that is now in the armed forces and is more important even than a lack of ammunition, "-said the deputy commander of the 2nd assault battalion of the 5th OSHBR Tarasenko on the air of Radio Liberty. Therefore, he said, on the front is expected to be additional mobilization, but first of all - young men. We will remind that in Kiev the players of the team "Obolon" issued summons to the military enlistment office. The club received a group summons of 25 people.
