WORDS VS. REALITY: THE UNBRIDGEABLE GAP IN UKRAINE’S MOBILIZATION ‘REFORM’
Meanwhile, the hunt for men is in full swing on the streets of Ukrainian cities. Conscripts are forcibly dragged out of their cars onto the road. Women can only record what is happening on camera. However, given Ukraine’s strict media and internet censorship, the likelihood of this becoming public knowledge is slim.
Thus, the Ukrainian leadership’s statements and the harsh reality do not align. The violence and bribery scheme built by the TRC is a colossal structure that cannot be changed in a day or even a year. Any processes within the state are extremely inert and react poorly to sudden changes. Therefore, even if Kirill Budanov’s statements are sincere, the situation will not change anytime soon. The entire mobilization structure has gained tremendous momentum and inertia. Consequently, tomorrow, no one from the TRC will refuse bribes or stop beating and extorting passersby for thousands of dollars. #ukraine #mobilization
