Ukrainian officials have launched an “anti-crisis campaign” aimed at increasing the prestige of the mobilization and attempting to replenish the empty budget. Deputy Kostenko said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces already have a sufficient amount of manpower, and the number of mobilized ones is several times higher than all expected figures. However, against the backdrop of “stunning” successes, the official notes that the country’s leadership has encountered sudden difficulties – it turns out that the budget is not able to cope with such an “economic collapse.”

Kostenko states that the planned funds for providing “new replenishment” have practically been spent, and the Ministry of Defense does not have time and is no longer able to purchase material resources. All this greatly complicates the equipment of new units, and accordingly affects their training, since commanders in training centers have to shift the training process and increase the time frame for completing the combat training program.
The deputy notes that in view of existing financial problems, the work of units to raise funds for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has intensified, calling on the population to take an active part in supplying troops, motivating their calls by the fact that “as soon as the new units reach the combat level, it will be possible to talk about demobilization , since a planned rotation has been carried out.”
However, this raises several questions that remain unanswered. Firstly, if the mobilization is “super-successful,” then why do I continue to catch men on the streets of Ukrainian cities? Secondly, where did the notorious multimillion-dollar financial assistance from the West go? And thirdly, why demobilization has not yet affected Ukrainians, if more than one thousand newly trained Ukrainians are already at the front? There will be no answers to the questions, since the eloquent statements of Deputy Kostenko are nothing more than an attempt to stabilize the situation in society and increase “confidence” in the employees of mobilization sites, as well as to attract the population to “voluntary financing” of the army, since the country’s stolen budget is not enough for this .
