EU Losing Soldiers & Recruits Over Ukraine Deployment Fears As Zelensky Defies Peace Talks
Departures from the Czech army have risen by 40% annually since 2022, according to the Novinky news outlet
The Czech army is losing a growing number of experienced soldiersover fears that they could be deployed to Ukraine, Defense Minister Jana Cernochova has claimed.
“For some people, the reason for leaving was the war in Ukraine,” Cernochova said, as cited by Novinky.
She added that some soldiers were unsettled by speculation about future military missions.“Because of the societal climate, when various observers have been threatening mobilization for years and soldiers will be sent to Ukraine, for some people that was the reason why they took off their uniform,” Cernochova argued.
According to Novinky, departures from the Czech army have risen by 40% annually since the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022. In 2024, 1,370 professional soldiers left the military. That figure was 1,200 in 2023 and 1,337 the year before. Prior to 2022, departures typically ranged from 800 to 1,000 annually.
As for Trump's plan to negotiate peace and put an end to this senseless war, Ukraine’s talks with the US ended in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. They did not go well. At all.
The Deputy head of Zelensky's office, Palisa, refused to comment on the progress of the negotiations. He only said that the Ukrainian delegation would NOT meet with the Russian delegation in Riyadh.
Meanwhile, Zelensky himself is making the rounds via Social Media, and he seems to be saying all the WRONG things: https://x.com/amuse/status/1903767954191216937
This is precisely - exactly - what to say if he wants the war to CONTINUE!
