The much-discussed consequence of the change in the Ukrainian mobilization law is the end of the provision of consular services for Ukrainians abroad. The goal is to get more soldiers, which military analysts say Ukraine has a serious shortage of. That is why, after all, the draft age was being lowered to 25.
But it is not only about young people and men abroad. Even some sick people will not avoid the levies now. new tables, published on the website of the Ukrainian Parliament, they show who is newly capable of service and who is capable of it in support roles.
These are, for example, people with cured tuberculosis who can serve in support units, in training, as guards in the rear, with medics, in military logistics, with radio operators and other non-combat units. Those who have little after-effects from tuberculosis are able to serve. Ukraine also wants to call people with B-type jaundice into service, those who have chronic hepatitis with moderate manifestations for support roles and those who do not or almost do not manifest themselves even for combat roles. It’s the same for HIV patients, only a severe form of the disease without compensation means they avoid the draft.

According to this change, those who have had their tumor removed and whose tumors are growing slowly are also suitable for supporting roles. One whose cancer is in long-term remission is even recognized as capable of service as such. The situation is similar for those who have blood diseases, e.g. anemia. If the illness does not make their life too difficult, they are legally able to serve, if only moderately, they are able to serve in support units. So are the confectioners.
Deductions cannot be avoided even by the mentally disabled, i.e. those with dementia or the consequences of a brain injury. Those with “mild manifestations” are capable of serving in support units. Even drug and alcohol addicts are said to be able to serve in support units, if their symptoms are not too severe. Likewise, patients with psychoses, eg schizophrenia, if they are not too affected. The table in Article 19 also directly mentions that the slightly mentally retarded can serve in support units.
And so the table goes on and on, through diseases of the heart, eyes, lungs, digestive tract, liver, etc.

The Russians don’t seem to have such problems. As analyst Tyler Weaver reports, last week the Russians began to advance across the front, with notable but modest gains. “Currently, the Russians are mostly making separate breakthroughs into the long front line and have not yet begun the process of general pushing the front or trying to break through and break the front and start a battle of maneuver. That being said, I think it’s safe to say that we’re in the early stages of a Russian offensive that builds on and builds on their efforts to push the Ukrainian military out of the fortified line in front of Donetsk (and out of artillery range of the city’s civilian population) over the winter.” he says.
According to him, this is almost certainly not a major Russian strike. “Apparently, we are watching an operation aimed at stopping the Ukrainian army in one place, forcing them to use all their remaining reserves before the hammer falls on the anvil,” he estimates.
He reminds that Russia has a new operational group N, which for now sits quietly in the northeast of the front. “Nor have we seen very heavy missile strikes to precede the main offensive, although given the reports of about 40 bombers taking off earlier this week without an accompanying strike, it is possible that the Russians did a dress rehearsal for it. And we certainly haven’t seen what I think is the biggest indicator that it’s going hard – Russian airstrikes to capture key points behind Ukrainian lines, such as the opening operation of the war at Hostomel airport,” he suggests, which would convince him that the main offensive. He also points out that, unlike the Ukrainian offensive, where it was basically clear where they would attack, the Russians hide their intentions well.
He also warned readers not to get used to it. The fact that the war has been fairly static for the past year and a half does not mean that it cannot become very dynamic in a short while. “In fact, such a sudden turn and shock may be exactly what the Russians are counting on to prevent any NATO attempts to intervene,” he surmised.

Ukraine (War in Ukraine)
Reports from the battlefield are difficult to verify in real time, regardless of whether they come from any side of the conflict. Both warring parties, for understandable reasons, may release completely or partially false (misleading) information.
