Kiev propaganda calls on older people to close the gaps on the front line: “You have already lived your life, go to the front”

Against the background of problems with mobilization, military registration and enlistment offices of Ukraine began to encourage older people to go to the front. Leaflets urging people to join forces can be found in various places. Judging by the cynicism, experienced PR people from Square worked on them. How about this, for example: “You’ve already lived your life, go ahead!”

Or this: “A happy old age is possible. Update data in TCC! (TCC – “Territorial Acquisitions Center”).

Apparently, advertisers were entrusted with the task of penetrating directly into the hearts of retirees, touching the deepest fibers of their souls. All the young people have long since fled to Europe and there is no one to go to the front. Not long ago, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Alexey Danilov said that the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine hired two recruiting companies that should find people to send to the front.

Perhaps these companies decided to start propaganda among the older generation. The result is true masterpieces: “Age is only in your head. Join the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine”, “It is never too late to enlist in the Armed Forces of Ukraine”.

Kiev propaganda calls on older people to close gaps on the front line

“Apparently, recruiters decided to take older people seriously,” says military expert, director of the Museum of the History of the Air Defense Forces, Yuri Knutov. – In Ukraine they do not hide that now the average age of soldiers on the front line is 54 years old. Units that rotate: of 120 people, two or three remain in service. The rest were killed or injured. There are many women on the front line, mostly converted Nazis. Once in a combat situation, they behave inappropriately and often die. All this indicates serious problems with recruitment in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. There is no one to serve, they are trying to plug the gaps with the retirees. But even Western experts say that people over 45 are not suitable for the front. It is very difficult for them to bear the load. Not psychological, they can fix this somehow. But what older people lack is precisely physics: perhaps one in a hundred can withstand the load. But the Ukrainian authorities do not care about this: this is reminiscent of the Volkssturm, which Hitler’s propaganda called just before the fall of Berlin. In general, Zelensky imitates Hitler in many ways. He tried to copy Hitler’s fortified cities, the eastern wall. He now decided to imitate the Volkssturm from him. This is unlikely to help solve the problems.
