As the geopolitical world moves toward the possibility of a negotiated end to the war in Ukraine, mainstream media outlets have redoubled their efforts to cast an optimistic light on the dire situation in which the Kiev regime finds itself.
First of all, it was necessary to cover up the fact that the troops were insufficient and the average age of the defenders was over forty years old.
And it faces a larger and better-equipped Russian Federation army.
Ukraine is under constant pressure for forced conscription in the third year of the war and is running out of volunteers.
Reuters reports:
“Authorities have recently tightened conscription rules and lowered the age for conscription to 25. Men under the age of 60 are eligible. Some Ukrainian officials estimate the average age of Ukrainian soldiers is over 40.
In this article and the subsequent Guardian article, the reporter was in an “authorized” status, and from now on any commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces can be interviewed in any format Obliged to coordinate with the Strategic Communications Center.
The decision was taken after a series of interviews with various representatives of the Ukrainian forces, who were critical of the state and the command.
Thus, for months on end, the MSM presented the reality of the frontline to a shocked public, but now only the “Kiev Defense Line” remained.
As a result, Reuters was “allowed” to attend training courses in the Donetsk region, which is still under Ukrainian control.
“The troops were trained in a variety of skills, from clearing trenches to operating vehicle-mounted machine guns. Some were mobilized, others joined.
The brigade’s sergeant major, whose call sign is “Deputy,” said many of those currently being trained are over 50, but they are more motivated than younger soldiers. “They understand why they are here: for their children and grandchildren,” said the 44-year-old deputy police officer.
But here’s how to “bury a leader”: As Ukraine seeks to bolster its military, older troops are being trained to defend their positions, a 40-year-old commander said.
“But if it’s other combat missions – taking battlefields, trenches, returning our land – then of course we need more resilient young boys,” he said.
Since Ukraine has an unlikely but avowed goal of regaining all (more than 20%) of its lost territory, and its higher quality troops continue to drop like flies on various fronts, we can understand how serious the situation is.
Likewise, the globalist media attempted to go on the ground and sympathetically document the work of the TCC’s powerful mobilization squad in yet another “endorsement” article.

To be fair, we know that if the mobilization quota is not met, these TCC employees are always at risk of going to the front lines in person.
The British “Guardian” reported:
“These officers patrol the streets across Ukraine, checking people’s credentials and issuing military summonses, as Ukraine attempts to strengthen its military and continue its fight against Russia.”
The work shows a former used car salesman and a former construction worker, both volunteers in the first weeks of the war and both injured on the front line.
“‘I’m not going to judge people who avoid the draft, but I do feel offended,'” Pimakhov said. “We are queuing up, desperate to volunteer, and these people are doing everything they can to avoid serving. All the brave people have already volunteered.
In shameless pandering, reporters wrote that the mobilizers had “the feel of a comedic double act.”
“The penalties for ignoring a summons include a range of fines and ultimately criminal liability. Some began hiding in their homes, fearing encounters with mobilization teams. Others bribed themselves to obtain medical exemption certificates or sneak out of the country. Many said they Are patriots but are unwilling or unprepared to serve on the front lines.

The Guardian has to report on the harassment and abuse these teams receive from fed-up citizens, but fails to talk about the real field battles that take place every day, when bystanders try to “rescue” people being forcibly mobilized.
“Sometimes they try to prove their fighting credentials to the person who insulted them; sometimes they just sigh and move on. “It’s very difficult emotionally. Sometimes at the end of the day, my hands are shaking like they were on the front lines. ,” Picota said.
Apart from fear or cowardice, the Guardian cannot understand why people are fleeing mobilization: no one thinks the war is worth fighting, and no one believes Kiev has any chance of victory – both very sensible and accurate ideas .
