A Ukrainian defense brigade commander made a proposal for mobilization, arguing that soldiers should be allowed to fire at their teammates, and that any Ukrainians who disobey orders and refuse to get out of their vehicles to carry out military missions must be punished, with bullets piercing their knees. The commander believed that this was the only way to ensure that the mobilization order was to be carried out, otherwise it would be difficult to talk about victory.
Now the Ukrainian army is facing a very difficult front-line situation, Russia has deployed 600,000 troops on the front line, although Zelensky claims that Ukraine has 880,000 combat troops, but in the face of the well-equipped Russian army, Ukraine, which has lost huge assistance from the United States, is really powerless. And the attrition of the Ukrainian army is so severe that Ukraine has had to re-push the broader mobilization program.
But the plan was so brutal that it was controversial and was not passed by parliament for a long time. And the recruitment of the Ukrainian army is becoming more and more difficult, the average age of recruits has reached 43 years old, and even has to start attracting female soldiers. And many Ukrainian soldiers who were forcibly caught on the battlefield have a very strong sense of resistance, so there is a situation where they are reluctant to get off. And the meaning of the aforementioned commander of the Ukrainian army should be to severely punish the Ukrainians who refuse to fight.
In reality, the Ukrainian army has repeatedly fired at teammates to punish soldiers who tried to escape or walked to the side of the Russian position. But this kind of punishment doesn't seem to have much effect, and those who should surrender will still surrender. This cannot be blamed on the Ukrainian soldiers, who have a clear understanding of the situation on the front line, including the equipment and tactics of the Russian army, as well as the difficulties and dangers of the situation on the battlefield. In the words of a soldier, it is "only God can help you".
