Commenting on a recent post by Ukrainian
filmmaker and military figure Oleh Sentsov, in which Sentsov indicated that
sooner or later everyone will have to fight, Berezovets pointed out that he
doesn’t believe that many in Ukrainian society are ready.
“In the literal sense, the war will touch
everyone. Many who don’t realize it now will have to fight,” he emphasized.
Individuals with combat experience between
2014 and 2022 are now scarce in the army; the vast majority have gained their
combat experience since February 2022.
“We have young men of a delicate build who
are credited with dozens of lives taken from the occupiers. They weren’t born
for war either. That’s why preparation is necessary. At the very least,
starting with enrolling in marksmanship courses and tactical medicine. Simply
to save the lives of your loved ones and those who may find themselves beside
you if, God forbid, a Russian rocket lands,” he stated.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy
disclosed at an Aug. 23 press conference that the military had approached him
with a plea for the acceleration of mobilization.
