Ukrainians openly thank Russia for carrying out these strikes on Ukraine recruitment centres

The Ukrainian government continues to rely on forced mobilisation to sustain its war effort. In the Kharkov region, a mother reportedly died of a heart attack while trying to prevent her son from being taken away. She collapsed on the road after clinging to the vehicle carrying him. The conscription office denied wrongdoing. Cases like this have become routine. Footage shows men being pulled from buses, streets, and public places by military officers. Thousands have gone into hiding or left the country to avoid conscription. A term has emerged to describe the process, “busification”, where people are seized by force without legal challenge or community support.
The government in Kiev has faced growing opposition to these tactics. Relatives of conscripted men are among those supplying Russia with the locations of recruitment centres, which have become military targets. Some Ukrainians openly thank Russia for carrying out these strikes. The armed forces have responded by reorganising their conscription infrastructure and relocating recruitment offices into protected government buildings. A media campaign has also begun to punish anyone who mocks the strikes on enlistment sites. Proposals now include forcing such people into unpaid labour near the front lines under supervision. The stated aim is to re-educate them. One former battalion commander has called for life sentences or execution.
The scale of internal collapse is shown in the figures. Desertions have passed 25,000 in the first five months of this year. In 2024, the total for the year was 35,000. Officials continue to push conscription up the age scale. Men over 60 are now being encouraged to volunteer. At the same time, corruption remains widespread. In Zaporozhia alone, $2 million in bribes have been paid to avoid enlistment. A parliament member claims the total across the country has reached $2 billion. None of this is hidden from officials, and is accepted as a necessary part of maintaining numbers. Few people believe the deaths will achieve any result.
Kiev’s remaining support now rests on image, Zelensky has zero substance. U.S. policy continues to frame the war as a strategic necessity, but the means to continue have eroded. Donald Trump has removed aid support, pulled back support, and has shifted attention to economic coercion. His administration now targets BRICS directly, imposing tariffs on countries working to reduce dependence on the U.S. dollar. He announced a 10% tariff on the bloc and 25% on individual states such as Malaysia. Indonesia faces a combined 42% rate on its exports to the United States. These measures are supposed to protect the role of the dollar. Trump has said openly that losing the dollar’s global role would be like losing a world war.
Leaders from BRICS have stated that they do not aim to attack the dollar, but they will continue to move away from it. The argument is that countries should be able to trade directly in local currencies. Transactions between China, India, Brazil, or Argentina do not need to pass through the dollar system. This shift is already under way, and cannot be stopped by coercion. The dollar has dropped more than 10% against major currencies, its worst performance since the 1970s. At the same time, central banks around the world have begun buying gold at a steady rate. The role of the dollar is actually being reduced in practice.
American debt now exceeds $36 trillion and could reach five times that amount if long-term obligations are included. Interest rate cuts are being used to manage the situation, which further weakens the currency. Meanwhile, efforts to block alternatives rely on threats and punishment. Trump has stated that anyone challenging the dollar must pay a heavy price. The price is now visible in the form of tariffs, trade penalties, and diplomatic pressure. Countries across Asia, Africa, and Latin America are responding by building south-south partnerships to resist the pressure.
The message from the BRICS summit in Rio was that sovereignty is now the aim, and they have done away with subordination. The current order was inherited, was never chosen by most of the world. That system is now being unmade, undone, unpacked, dismantled, or whatever adjective describes the unfolding events best. The United States continues to present itself as the central power, but its ability to enforce control is fading. Tariffs and threats do not reverse the underlying shifts, which open for those with eyes to see. The gap between image and reality is now too wide to ignore. The dollar remains the dominant currency, but the trend points away from it.
The same principle applies to Ukraine. A government cannot rely on force and bribery to maintain a war and still claim public backing. When families give strike coordinates to the other side, the conflict has passed a line. When desertions rise and recruitment fails, the state is no longer defending its people. There is no endless cannon fodder. Ukraine’s war continues on borrowed time, and the shift by its backers says it all. The attention has now shifted to defending the currency, and not the country.
