I reckon it's a lot more than 10'000 that have deserted.

I think so as well, probably these are the "official" figures.

Guaranteed these are the " official figures, and not only that, the article only relates to how many have deserted, not taking into account how many have simply left the country and / or refused to fight. Oh look, you annoyed someone, they gave you a down-vote. That is probably about as nasty as the Ukrainian army can get these days. hehe.

The very first line of the "article"

Ukrainian men understand the absurdity of the war their government is waging.

I dont have a dog in this fight, but that website is nothing more than very thinly veiled propaganda.

Everything has been propaganda in this proxy war.

To be honest, its absurd that Ukrainians are fighting each other for the West like this. Russia has been winning the front so far, and Putin has taken advantage of the whole Maidan coup.
