Ukrainian journalist Volodomyr Boiko reports that a whopping ~91,000 Armed Forces Ukraine (AFU) have already deserted from the armed forces in 2025 alone.
This is why several NATO nations (Poland, Sweden, US, France, UK, Germany and others) have been sending in mercenaries (and so called 'advisers') to augment the depleted AFU forces.
No one can seriously deny that this war on Russia is, and has been, a full-blown NATO war.
These desertions by AFU troops tell the real story about how much Ukrainian soldiers support western puppet Zelensky's war.

Return of bodies to Ukraine
At the recent Russia-Ukraine peace negotiations in Turkey one agreement was made to return the dead bodies of soldiers each side had.
Russian officials have unveiled the identities of nearly 100 fallen Ukrainian soldiers who were among the more than 6,000 Moscow has offered to return to Kiev in a unilateral humanitarian gesture during the latest round of direct talks in Istanbul.
The Istanbul talks resulted in an agreement to exchange at least 1,000 prisoners on both sides, including critically ill and younger detainees. Russia also offered to return over 6,000 fallen Ukrainian soldiers for proper burial.
The first convoy, carrying the remains of 1,212 troops, arrived at the designated exchange point on Saturday – but the Ukrainian side failed to appear, according to Lieutenant General Alexander Zorin, a member of the Russian negotiating team.
“The Ukrainian side unexpectedly postponed both the acceptance of bodies and the exchange of prisoners of war for an indefinite period,” Zorin said.
The governor of Russia’s Zaporozhye Region, Evgeny Balitsky accused Kiev of deliberately obstructing the return of the bodies, alleging that Ukrainian authorities are trying to conceal the scale of their military losses and avoid paying compensation to the families of the dead.
“As long as a Ukrainian soldier is listed as missing, his family will not receive a single hryvnia in aid,” the governor said. “This is a calculated attempt to hide the losses and save money.”
"Kiev's disregard for their own fighters has been evident throughout the special military operation," Russian military analyst Viktor Litovkin tells Sputnik. "They don’t retrieve the dead from the battlefield. They don’t evacuate the wounded."
The Kiev regime avoids identifying the dead — no ID means no compensation to relatives. "They don’t pay for those listed as missing. No body, no money. They don’t pay parents or provide insurance for the dead," Litovkin explains.
"It’s the [Nazi] Banderite style — careless toward those who fight, and vengeful, even brutal, toward civilians who don’t support their politics or ideology."
Litovkin believes pressure from the West will force Kiev to accept the bodies and exchange POWs.
