Abstract

The article discusses the increasing number of Ukrainian soldiers abandoning their posts due to exhaustion and dissatisfaction with military conditions. Since Russia's invasion, Ukraine has opened nearly 96,000 criminal cases against servicemen who left their positions, representing a sixfold increase over the past two years. Soldiers cite fatigue, personal circumstances, and bureaucratic obstacles as reasons for going AWOL, with some seeking amnesty upon return. The Ukrainian military faces challenges in retaining troops and addressing systemic issues to maintain morale and effectiveness. [Extracted from the article]
