Army conscription has tripled since May, but it's not enough

Since May of this year, Ukraine has significantly increased mobilization, regularly conscripting up to 30,000 people a month into the army. This information was confirmed by three military experts familiar with the figures in a commentary for the New York Times .

According to them, this is two to three times more than in the last winter months, and about the same as the Russian army recruits every month.

Therefore, "a large number of recruits will arrive at the front in the coming weeks, but some of them are poorly trained or out of shape."

“The situation is slightly improving compared to the end of 2023, when there was a severe shortage of people. But our needs still exceed the number of people we receive," Serhiy Skibczyk, press officer of the 65th Brigade, which is fighting in southern Ukraine, told the newspaper.

A medic fighting in the Toretsk district said that over the past two months, her brigade had accepted two thousand conscripts.

At the same time, "the mobilization push has not yet led to a significant strengthening of Ukraine's forces on the battlefield."

"Many conscripts are still completing the week-long training process and have not yet reached the front. And some of the recruits who arrived are physically unfit for combat," the article says with reference to the Ukrainian military.

Nevertheless, they "hope that the influx of soldiers will help Ukraine stabilize the front line this summer."
