"Action is crucial for survival": Military leaders in Dnipropetrovsk region urge a ban on alcohol sales.

She wrote about this in Facebook.

Mikhaylova noted that before making this text public, she attempted to address the issue "civilly." In particular, she reached out to local authorities to request a ban on alcohol sales to military personnel. However, she was informed that there is no such ban in the region.

The servicemember is publicly demanding that local authorities in the Dnipropetrovsk region "immediately" impose a ban on the sale of alcohol within a 50-kilometer radius from the border with the Donetsk region. According to her, due to the situation at the front, "this is not an issue that can be ignored."

"Alcoholism and drunken brawls with shootings and fights among soldiers are not a fantasy, and they won't disappear as long as there is the possibility of buying alcohol uncontrollably. Especially not in the few kilometers from the frontline!" Mikhaylova stated.

She urged the authorities to "not be indifferent" and "take action," because "inaction on this issue could cost lives—both military and civilian."

Mikhaylova also addressed the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine who buy alcohol while in uniform, stating that such actions "devalue the heroism of those who go into battle in this uniform."

The army has begun to publicly discuss the problem of alcoholism

Journalists from "Ukrainska Pravda" discovered that the command of the 211th pontoon-bridge brigade of the Armed Forces Support was abusing the soldiers—they were demanding money, beating them, and threatening to leave them "for slaughter." However, after that, the military pointed out another issue highlighted by this case—alcoholism in service.

In particular, Ukrainian servicemember Marusya Zveroboy stated that military personnel on the ground had to independently figure out how to manage people under the influence.

"Once, I brought an avatar to the Support Forces, and I was told there: 'We have no space, lock him up somewhere in your basement.' There was a scandal and a fuss, but that was because of me. The others are turned away, as if to say, deal with them yourselves. The guys handle it as they know how to 'educate' them.", Zveroboy wrote.
