Bloomberg reported this.
“Until now, agricultural enterprises have avoided the focus of Ukraine’s mobilization efforts, in part because of their critical importance to the country’s economy,” the material says.
It is noted that there are almost no volunteers left in Ukraine and the country has less and less manpower, so “more and more farmers are being called up for service.”
However, the skills of conscripted farmers are sometimes so specialized that women, pensioners and others who were not conscripted cannot easily fill the gap.
Thus, according to the chairman of the Ukrainian Agrarian Council Andrey Dikun, “there are no men left at all at some agricultural enterprises.”
Earlier it was reported that in Odessa, military registration and enlistment office employees began using gas canisters when detaining men of military age on the streets.
