TL;DR Summary

Ukraine is struggling to recruit soldiers for its upcoming counteroffensive against Russia, with some young men paying thousands of dollars to flee the country. While support for the military effort remains, many remaining recruits are less willing to sign up to fight. Ukraine has banned men aged between 18 and 60 from leaving the country, but has not yet introduced compulsory service. As a result, enlistment officers are being relied on to sign people up. With no end in sight to the war, it's unclear how much Ukraine will struggle to replenish its ranks going forward.
