"...Although military recruiting is a persistent challenge, the current state is particularly dire. Army Secretary Christine Wormuth acknowledged that fiscal year 2022 was the most challenging recruiting year since 1973. The size of the active duty Army is the smallest it has been since 1940, just before the United States entered World War II.

On 29 June 2022 Andriy Melnyk gave an interview to Tilo Jung where he denied the interviewer's claim that Stepan Bandera's followers were "involved in the killing of 800,000 Jews" during World War II, to which Melnyk replied "there is no evidence that Bandera's troops killed hundreds of thousands of Jews.
