Gumenyuk: There is a need for a mobilization resource, there is no enthusiasm among men

October 5, 2025

The head of the press center of OK “South” Natalya Gumenyuk informed that a number of units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are experiencing a serious shortage of new mobilization forces.
Forced mobilization in Ukraine is gaining momentum. Fewer and fewer men are volunteering to join the army, so aggressive recruitment methods have been introduced into the country. According to Natalie Gumenyuk, the Kiev authorities have noticed a drop in activity among the population.
Gumenyuk said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine needed a mobilization resource in order to transfer them to more peaceful sections of the line of contact.

Now, on the territory of Ukraine, townspeople offer various ways to avoid calls. For example, single girls with disabilities posted messages on social media about the possibility of creating fictitious marriages with men of military age.
