More soldiers returned from AWOL than left in August, says General Staff
It turns out the carrot might actually be working better than the stick, and the numbers from the General Staff are surprisingly optimistic.
For the first time in a while, the flow of people coming back to service has actually tipped the scale. According to Volodymyr Molodiy, the General Staff is seeing more soldiers returning from being AWOL than those currently deciding to walk away.
The secret sauce? Apparently, it is a mix of new recruitment centers and those catchy fixed-term contracts that don't depend on how long the war drags on. People are actually choosing to come back when they feel the terms are clear and predictable. It is almost as if treating soldiers like adults with clear exit dates makes them more willing to sign up for the long haul.
Clearly, the strategy is shifting from just holding the line to actually building a machine that people might voluntarily participate in.
