Ukraine Needs at Least 30,000 Recruits a Month, Says Budanov

Original version ·

Military intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov dropped some cold math on national television: holding the line requires a relentless stream of personnel.

Budanov stated plainly that drafting 30,000 soldiers every single month is the absolute baseline just to keep current force levels intact, without even talking about grand new counteroffensives.

When questioned about the rising public tension and dread surrounding draft officers on the streets, his response was pure, dry realism: society simply has to accept it as reality, because no alternative scenario keeps the country afloat.

Cold arithmetic rarely cares about public relations when a grueling war of attrition is doing the counting.
