Ukraine Manpower Crisis: 650K Ukrainian Men Flee As War Deepens And Russia Advances In Donetsk

Ukraine is facing its worst manpower crisis since the start of the war with Russia, with The Telegraph reporting that at least 650,000 fighting-age men have fled the country since 2022.

Many others are hiding within Ukraine or bribing officials to avoid conscription.

The draft evasion problem is spiraling as Russian forces push forward in Donetsk, with military analysts warning of severe infantry shortages and failing drone operations.

Reports suggest desertions have surged to nearly 400,000, while disturbing videos show Ukrainian draft officers violently detaining men in what locals call “busification.” Even support roles like mechanics and radar operators are being reassigned to frontline combat.

Thousands have attempted dangerous border escapes, some ending in fatalities.

Ukrainian commanders warn the situation is becoming unsustainable, threatening the country’s ability to continue the fight.

Russia SLAMS Trump For His ‘BLEAK’ Prediction On Alaska Summit | Trump-Putin Summit

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov downplayed Donald Trump’s prediction that there is a 25% chance the upcoming Alaska summit with President Vladimir Putin could fail. Speaking ahead of the high-stakes talks, Lavrov said Russia would not engage in forecasting outcomes, emphasizing that Moscow has “arguments and a clear, definite position” ready for the meeting. He credited U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, Trump’s close associate, with laying much of the groundwork for the discussions and expressed hope that negotiations would continue into the next day. The Anchorage talks, already under global scrutiny, come at a time of tense U.S.-Russia relations and ongoing war in Ukraine. While Trump has framed the meeting as a potential breakthrough, Lavrov’s remarks signal confidence in Russia’s approach and suggest Moscow is prepared to stand firm. The world now watches to see if the dialogue will ease tensions or widen the divide. #Lavrov #TrumpPutin #AlaskaSummit #RussiaUS #AnchorageTalks #PutinTrumpMeeting #USPolitics #Diplomacy #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #UkraineWar #PeaceTalks #USRussiaRelations #SergeyLavrov #SteveWitkoff #Negotiations #AnchorageSummit #InternationalRelations #WorldNews #GlobalPolitics Also Read Why Putin Wanted Alaska For the US, Russia Summit?

‘Witkoff Misunderstood Putin’s…’: U.S’ Shocking Blunder Ahead Of High-Stakes Trump-Putin Talks

Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff has come under fire after reportedly misinterpreting Russian President Vladimir Putin’s ceasefire terms, according to German outlet BILD. Sources say Putin demanded full control of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson while offering only a limited halt to attacks on energy sites and major cities—not a full ceasefire. Witkoff allegedly believed Putin was proposing a withdrawal from Ukrainian territories, a misunderstanding that baffled both European partners and members of Trump’s own team. High-level calls between U.S. and European officials exposed confusion, internal disagreements, and a lack of unified strategy. With Trump’s Alaska meeting with Putin looming on August 15, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reaffirmed that Ukraine will never surrender its land. The revelations raise concerns about U.S. negotiation credibility, European involvement, and the risks of misreading Moscow’s intentions in the ongoing war. #Trump #Putin #UkraineWar #Ceasefire #SteveWitkoff #BILD #RussiaUkraine #Zelensky #Donetsk #Luhansk #Kherson #Zaporizhzhia #USPolitics #Europe #Diplomacy #Geopolitics #PeaceTalks #WarInUkraine #Russia #AlaskaSummit ~HT.318~ED.103~GR.124~

Trump DUMPS Zelensky? Suggests BIG PRIZE for Putin to END Ukraine War | Zelensky suffers MELTDOWN

Donald Trump has floated a controversial Ukraine-Russia peace proposal involving territorial swaps, suggesting both sides could benefit. According to reports, Vladimir Putin is open to halting the war if Kyiv cedes eastern territories, including Donetsk and Crimea. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky fiercely rejected any deal involving land concessions, calling it a reward for Russian aggression. While Trump insists the idea could end the conflict, Zelensky warned that any settlement without Ukraine’s consent is doomed, urging a “dignified and lasting” peace instead. #Trump #Putin #Zelensky #UkraineWar #PeaceDeal #TerritorialSwap #Donetsk #Crimea #RussiaUkraine #Geopolitics #Diplomacy #WarAndPeace #Kyiv #Moscow #USPolitics #GlobalConflict #BreakingNews #Ukraine #Russia #TrumpPutin #ZelenskySpeech #UkrainePeace #PutinPlan #WarResolution #MilitaryConflict Also Read Did India’s S-400 Strike On Pakistan’s F-16s Trigger Trump’s Tariff War On New Delhi?

Putin’s BIGGEST Demand Revealed: Trump Mulls Giving Russia Eastern Ukraine To ‘END Ukraine War’ [Video]

Putin’s BIGGEST Demand Revealed: Trump Mulls Giving Russia Eastern Ukraine To ‘END Ukraine War’

A Wall Street Journal report claims Vladimir Putin has agreed to meet Donald Trump and halt the Ukraine war if Kyiv surrenders its eastern territories, including Donetsk and Crimea. The proposal, relayed via U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, demands Ukraine’s withdrawal from key regions. European leaders and President Zelensky strongly reject territorial concessions, citing Ukraine’s constitutional ban on such moves. Trump’s push for land swaps is straining U.S.-Ukraine ties and creating friction within NATO ahead of a possible Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska. #Putin #Trump #Ukraine #Zelensky #UkraineWar #Donetsk #Crimea #PeaceDeal #NATO #Kyiv #TerritorySwap #Russia #USPolitics #WarNews #EasternUkraine #UkraineRussiaWar #Geopolitics #WSJReport #KyivRejectsDeal #EuropeRejectsDeal #TrumpPutin #UkraineMap #CrimeaAnnexation #RussiaUkraineConflict #BreakingNews #GlobalPolitics #Diplomacy #PeaceTalks #NATOAllies #KyivWashingtonTensions Also Read US President Trump Says He Will Meet Russian Counterpart Putin On August 15 :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-trump-says-he-will-meet-russian-counterpart-putin-on-august-15-7824671.html?ref=DMDesc PM Modi Speaks With ‘Friend’ Putin, Vows To Strengthen India-Russia Relations :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pm-modi-speaks-with-friend-putin-vows-to-strengthen-india-russia-relations-7824237.html?ref=DMDesc Putin Hopes for Meeting with Trump as White House Pushes for Ukraine Peace Deal :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/putin-hopes-to-meet-trump-ukraine-peace-deal-011-7823563.html?ref=DMDesc

BREAKING: Zelensky DEMANDS ‘Regime Change’ In Russia After Deadly Kyiv Strike Kills 16 Amid Tensions [Video]

BREAKING: Zelensky DEMANDS ‘Regime Change’ In Russia After Deadly Kyiv Strike Kills 16 Amid Tensions

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has urged Western allies to seek "regime change" in Russia following a devastating drone and missile strike on Kyiv that killed 16 people, including a six-year-old boy. Over 150 were wounded in one of the most intense attacks in months. The overnight barrage hit a residential tower, causing mass devastation, just as Moscow claimed to have captured Chasiv Yar, a strategic town in eastern Ukraine. While Ukraine denies full Russian control, analysts admit the battle is “very difficult.” The brutal assault came shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump issued a 10-day ultimatum to Russia, threatening further sanctions. As the Kremlin pushes its offensive deeper into Donetsk, Kyiv faces political unrest at home after Zelensky was forced to withdraw a controversial anti-corruption bill under EU pressure. With Russia escalating attacks and Ukraine’s internal crisis deepening, the war enters a volatile new phase. #Zelensky #UkraineWar #KyivAttack #RussiaUkraine #RegimeChange #Putin #ChasivYar #UkraineCrisis #Trump #RussiaSanctions #KyivMissileStrike #EasternUkraine #WarInUkraine #UkrainePolitics #DroneAttack #HelsinkiAccords #RussiaAirstrikes #UkraineNews #AntiCorruption #DonetskRegion ~HT.318~GR.125~
