For more than two years, Ukraine has been in a full-scale war caused by the invasion of Russia. During this time, thousands of Ukrainians joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) to defend their country against occupiers on the battlefield. At the same time, there is a certain number of mobilized citizens who have not yet had the opportunity to go to the front.
This was reported by the head of the "Servant of the People" faction, David Arahamia, in an interview with Natalia Moseichuk. According to the information of the People's Deputy, the new Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Oleksandr Syrskyi has started an audit of the Armed Forces to determine the number of persons who have the status of mobilized, but have not visited the front for two years. The results showed that about 8 thousand mobilized did not participate in hostilities during this period.
Also, a member of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence, People's Deputy from "Servant of the People" Fedir Venislavskyi spoke about the first results of the audit of the Armed Forces. "I raised this issue at one of the closed meetings of the Committee on National Security. If we conduct an audit in military management bodies that do not perform combat missions, we can get at least one or two reserve brigades due to artificially inflated staffs," he explained.
As for specific figures, Venislavsky refrained from disclosing them, but emphasized that they exceed 8,000 soldiers who have not participated in hostilities until now.
