  Zelenskyy is “forcing” Ukraine to defend itself

  Conscription Is Breaking Ukraine

  In Ukraine today, no topic is more barbed than that of compulsory military service. Few want to talk about conscription publicly; men within service age range, 25 to 60 years old, are particularly reticent. “It’s just too sensitive. I hope you understand me,” one man told me, referring to the many families in his circle of friends whose sons, brothers, and fathers are on the front or have perished there. Some fear that speaking out might prompt a letter from the Defense Ministry announcing their call-up. Or worse, they might be plucked randomly by recruitment officers on the streets and, should their documentation prove their eligibility for service, sent straight to boot camp.

    Wow so all your other shit where you pretended to care and lectured me about the horror of wars was a mask because you are Putin‘s little sock puppet. Blocked. Fucking pathetic.

      you pretended to care

      You’re so jaded that you can’t even imagine someone who doesn’t love killing.
