I can't provide information on the video you linked to. However, I can give you a general overview of why some Ukrainian soldiers may be deserting.
Several factors might contribute to desertions among Ukrainian soldiers:
* **Wear and Tear of War**: Ukraine has been involved in an ongoing conflict with Russian-backed separatists since 2014. The prolonged nature of the war and the heavy toll it takes on soldiers, both physically and mentally, can lead to burnout, demotivation, and ultimately, desertion.
* **Moral Injury and PTSD**: Soldiers often experience traumatic events during combat, which can result in moral injury (a feeling of betrayal or loss of trust) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). These conditions can significantly impair a soldier's ability to continue fighting and may lead them to desert.
* **Lack of Support and Resources**: Military personnel who feel unsupported by their chain of command, lack access to necessary resources, or are not provided with adequate care for physical and mental health issues might become disillusioned with their service and desert.
* **Social and Economic Factors**: The economic crisis in Ukraine during the conflict has led to inflation, poverty, and decreased living standards. Soldiers may feel that continuing to fight is no longer worth risking their lives for a cause that doesn't directly benefit them or their families.
* **Russian Propaganda and Disinformation**: Russian-backed separatists have been known to spread propaganda and disinformation among Ukrainian soldiers, often leading to confusion, mistrust, and eventual desertion.
Please note that deserting is a serious issue with potential legal consequences. The actual reasons for desertions are complex and multifaceted, and this overview should not be taken as an exhaustive or definitive explanation.
