Ukrainian armed forces suffer from desertion, especially among new recruits

Kiev, Sep 8 (UNI) The Ukrainian armed forces are suffering from desertion and insubordination, especially among new recruits, CNN reported on Sunday, citing the Ukrainian military, adding that if a soldier survives once in his positions, he may never return to them again.
"Not all mobilised soldiers are leaving their positions, but the majority are. When new guys come here, they see how difficult it is. They see a lot of enemy drones, artillery and mortars… They go to the positions once and if they survive, they never return. They either leave their positions, refuse to go into battle, or try to find a way to leave the army," one unit commander, who is currently engaged in battles in the Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk) direction, told CNN.
Many commanders are not reporting on desertion as they expect the soldiers to return voluntarily and get away with it, the broadcaster reported.
