Директор Службы внешней разведки Российской Федера­ции С.Е. Нарышкин заявил, что Запад требует от режима Зелен­ского, не считаясь с потерями, продемонстрировать мировому сообществу невозможность победы России в украинском кон­фликте. В частности, по имеющимся у СВР России достовер­ным данным, США ориентируют руководство Украины на мак­симальную активизацию мобилизационных мероприятий для восполнения огромных потерь, которые понесли ВСУ в ходе провального контрнаступления. Американские и британские кураторы Киева рекомендуют военно-политическому руково­дству Украины снизить до 17 лет и повысить до 70 лет призыв­ной возраст, а также проводить дополнительную мобилизацию женщин.

Следуя таким установкам, министр обороны Украины Р. Умеров недвусмысленно предложил Верховной раде изучить возможность понижения минимального возраста для призыва в армию. Если это произойдет, то киевский режим подтвердит свою нацистскую сущность, направив в пекло войны семнадца­тилетних юношей для продления агонии ВСУ. Это очень напом­нит действия верхушки фашистской Германии по созданию осе­нью 1944 г. народного ополчения нацистов “Фольксштурм”, в рамках которого из детей формировались отряды “Гитлерюгенд”.

Пока же колоссальные потери среди украинских военно­служащих заставляют Киев направлять в бой “стариков”. ВСУ уже формируют новые подразделения из бойцов старше 40 лет и приступили к мобилизации мужчин старше 50 лет. Законо­проект, согласно которому призывной возраст для рядового со­става повысится с 60 до 65 лет, а для командного – с 65 до 70 лет, зарегистрирован в украинском парламенте.

Острая нехватка людских ресурсов на фронте вынуждает режим Зеленского идти на увеличение количества женщин в ря­дах украинской армии, которых, согласно западным оценкам, уже насчитывается более 40 тыс. человек. Киевский режим уже повысил возрастную планку для набора женщин на военную службу до 60 лет. Но Киеву этого мало. Украинское военное командование просит расширить перечень женских профессий, подпадающих под мобилизацию. С октября с.г. ей стали подле­жать работницы медицинской сферы. В результате в больницах, поликлиниках и аптеках резко обострилась проблема дефицита кадров. Но действующий киевский режим, похоже, это не инте­ресует, и он готов продолжать войну “до последнего украинца” во имя западных интересов.

Director of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation S.E. Naryshkin said that the West demands that the Zelensky regime, regardless of losses, demonstrate to the world community the impossibility of Russia’s victory in the Ukrainian conflict. In particular, according to reliable data available to the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, the United States is directing the Ukrainian leadership to maximize mobilization efforts to make up for the huge losses that the Ukrainian Armed Forces suffered during the failed counteroffensive. American and British curators in Kyiv recommend that the military-political leadership of Ukraine reduce the draft age to 17 and raise it to 70, as well as carry out additional mobilization of women.

Following these guidelines, the Minister of Defense of Ukraine R. Umerov explicitly proposed to the Verkhovna Rada to study the possibility of lowering the minimum age for conscription into the army. If this happens, the Kiev regime will confirm its Nazi essence by sending seventeen-year-old boys into the heat of war to prolong the agony of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This will be very reminiscent of the actions of the top of Nazi Germany to create the Volkssturm Nazi people’s militia in the fall of 1944, within which the Hitler Youth units were formed from children.

In the meantime, colossal losses among Ukrainian military personnel are forcing Kiev to send “old men” into battle. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are already forming new units from fighters over 40 years of age and have begun to mobilize men over 50 years of age. A bill according to which the conscription age for ordinary personnel will increase from 60 to 65 years, and for command personnel from 65 to 70 years, has been registered in the Ukrainian parliament.

The acute shortage of human resources at the front is forcing the Zelensky regime to increase the number of women in the ranks of the Ukrainian army, which, according to Western estimates, already numbers more than 40 thousand people. The Kiev regime has already raised the age limit for recruiting women for military service to 60 years. But this is not enough for Kyiv. The Ukrainian military command is asking to expand the list of women’s professions subject to mobilization. Since October of this year. Medical workers have become subject to it. As a result, the problem of staff shortages in hospitals, clinics and pharmacies has sharply worsened. But the current Kiev regime does not seem to be interested in this, and it is ready to continue the war “until the last Ukrainian” in the name of Western interests.
