Andriy Biletsky on Mobilization: Who Bears the Main Burden and Why This is Unfair.

Mobilization in Ukraine is Unfair

According to inkorr.com: The commander of the 3rd army corps Andriy Biletsky stated in an interview with 'Radio Free Europe' that the current mobilization in Ukraine is discriminatory and affects the most vulnerable segments of the population. According to him, the middle class and well-off citizens who voluntarily went to serve in 2022 are still fulfilling their duties, while the main burden of mobilization falls on the residents of villages and small towns.

'Who are they primarily targeting right now? Villages, small settlements. Even in cities, no one cares about large gym chains. Everyone pays attention to bus stations, trains — places where people from villages come to work,' Biletsky emphasized.

He also stressed that such selectivity negatively affects the motivation of citizens:

'How can this not affect? It's not just money; it's an injustice of a different order. I will die, and you will not. This is absolute injustice. This is much worse than social inequality.

Abuses in the Booking System

In addition, Biletsky drew attention to serious abuses related to booking.

'We have a huge number of people in booking who belong to strange categories, having no relation to either critical infrastructure, public transportation, or the military-industrial complex. Let's be frank: this booking was bought by either these people or their companies,' he stated.

Biletsky emphasized that without eliminating these injustices, it is impossible to talk about fair mobilization.

Recall that there was a resonant story earlier about a veteran whose son continues to fight against the Russian occupiers at the front, and who received five years in prison for refusing to serve at the TCC. There were also reports of a scandal in the repair battalion of the Lviv 125th Separate Heavy Mechanized Brigade, where more than 20 servicemen are ready to leave the unit in protest against the command's decision to transfer them to an assault unit.

In the interview, Andriy Biletsky expressed his viewpoint on inequality and abuses during mobilization in Ukraine, stressing the necessity to address these issues to ensure fairness and effective defense capabilities of the country.
