There are many recorded cases of men avoiding communication with TCC representatives.
Rehabilitologist, combat medic and combat participant Yulia Vitkovskaya, after Bakhmut and Ugledar, served in the Chernihiv region, where she passed a military medical commission. Now she is serving at the territorial recruitment center and told the details about the delivery of subpoenas.
“How do men react? Apparently, men don’t care that I’m a woman. I’m not the only one on the agenda. In principle, people need only one thing: don’t touch me, I’m my mother’s cherry, I can’t. When, for example, I I’m returning home from work, somewhere in the city I stop to drink coffee on the go, I look at these “super jocks” who are also sitting with a lavender latte, talking, smiling, discussing something. And I have such an association – which one. are we a man?” she noted in an interview with Suspilny.
According to the servicewoman, there are many cases of men avoiding communication with TCC representatives. When they see a man in uniform, they simply run away.
“We’re walking: the police and the two of us. The Kyiv department store, we enter the parking lot, there are two men in front. I see that one of them raises his eyes in my direction, sees that we are coming towards him, grabs his friend’s hand, they turn around and they go in the opposite direction from where they were coming. I pull my colleague by the hand: “Look, I say, the defenders have gone!” says Vitkovskaya.
She added that the erroneous vision has taken hold in society that when a person receives a combat order, he immediately joins the stormtroopers, but it doesn’t work that way. Not only attack aircraft serve in the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
“Not every person will be put in a leadership position, because not every person can manage. Not every person can storm. There are people who cook well, I knew such people in the service. There are people who can very quickly cope with writing some kind of report, “They have everything clearly. There are people who will dig into the issuance of the same clothes, some will repair cars, some will clean weapons, some will count something.” Not everyone will be stormtroopers,” he notes. woman.
As Vitkovskaya notes, men have to be convinced to go serve. It is impossible to do this dryly – you have to give examples and “bring out the man in a man.”
“Honestly, it doesn’t work. Apparently, they’ll wake up when it flies into every yard. The first thing was what? Fright in 2022, then poof, and now the answer is: “I didn’t send you there.” And one more thing: “It’s not mine.” war. You started it, you finish it.” How will you react when the enemy enters a conditional village or city and, before your eyes, rapes your wife, cuts your child to pieces, what will you do?” To which they said that when they come in, then I will go,” Yulia recalled.
Mobilization in Ukraine
According to The Economist, the search for potential recruits in Ukraine has intensified.
The Ukrainian army, which is outnumbered and outgunned by Russian troops on the battlefield, urgently needs fresh fighters. At the same time, the lines of patriotic volunteers that lined up outside recruiting centers after the full-scale Russian invasion in February 2022 have long disappeared. Therefore, Ukrainian military units are trying to lure people to join them using various methods of motivation.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the military is increasingly advertising on billboards and using Instagram advertising tools.
