Chmut explained that the current casualty levels are causing a wave of injuries that prevent a full return to duty. Many soldiers who have spent year and a half in frontline trenches require substantial physiological recovery before they can be redeployed. To keep the front line staffed, new personnel would need to fill the void created by those incapacitated or exhausted soldiers. This means a vast cohort of people would need to be mobilized, potentially numbering in the hundreds of thousands, to maintain the tempo of operations and preserve battlefield capacity.

He warned that if the situation continues unchanged, the mobilization would eventually touch all sectors of society unless an unforeseen disruption arises. In his view, the current trajectory creates a domino effect: ongoing casualties necessitate more enlistments, which in turn intensify the strain on logistics, medical care, and housing for those called up.

He suggested this would help stabilize the country’s postwar reconstruction and ensure the workforce remains available for national needs. The platform used for the message is one that is widely monitored and discussed in Ukrainian civic discourse. Source: Ukrainian Future Institute communications.

In previous negotiations involving Ukraine and Russia, the language around terms and timelines has evolved as the situation on the ground shifts. Observers note that any formal agreement would have to reckon with changing battlefield realities, civilian resilience, and the economic implications for both nations.
