Ukrainian men are trying in every possible way to escape the war, which has now lasted twenty month. Authorities are increasingly struggling to recruit for the army, which is estimated to have around 500,000 men and women under arms, including reserves. Russia has about three times as many military personnel.
The clearest sign that calling up soldiers is not going well came in August. President Zelensky dismissed all the heads of the regional mobilization offices in one fell swoop because they accepted large-scale bribes...
There are also men who go into hiding. News channel Al Jazeera tracked one down. In his own words, he has no desire to serve as cannon fodder. According to the unrecognizable person in hiding, men over 45 years old, with month of training are doomed at the front. He tells how a friend of his-a company manager-went to the front and was killed within a month...
Men between 18 and 60 years old are not allowed to leave the country in case the army needs them. Many do not want to wait for that and they try to get away.
The border guards at the Ukrainian border with Romania and Moldova know all about this. That border runs through the Carpathians, a mountainous forest area. The border is porous, which is why border guards are extra vigilant...

They are sending men over 45 years old to their deaths with one month's training.
Who wouldn't want to serve the glorious Ukrainian cause on "The Russian Front"?
I will not be forced to go into a meat grinder situation involuntarily either.
Both sides are throwing warm bodies into the meat grinder. The only winner of this war will be the corrupt politicians sho stole money from foreign aid.
Is a country even worth existing if it’s invaded and people aren’t volunteering en masse to defend it, but are rather attempting to escape and the government is trying its hardest to keep them in the country to die for it?
Utter evil haven’t enough people died in Ukraine from Stalin’s starvation of six million to the Nazi Holocaust atrocities and so on.
Now Ukrainians by the tens of thousands maybe more dying.
Our country is being invaded and barely a peep out of anyone including those in authority.
And America is certainly worth existing.
Don’t be disingenuous, you know what I mean by “invaded.”
From the Cambridge dictionary: Invade ~ to enter a place in large numbers, usually when unwanted and in order to take possession or do damage:
Hundreds of squatters have invaded waste land in the hope that they will be allowed to stay.
You can take it either way.
“he army, which is estimated to have around 500,000 men and women under arms”
I thought Ukraine had a pre-war population of around 40 million.
In WW2, about one in 10 Americans was in military service.
Ok chi-commie.
Interesting they aren’t fleeing to Russia.
I thought Ukraine had a pre-war population of around 40 million.

Times change quickly in war. Current demographics show less than 28 million in country, some say as low as 20 million. As the Ukies are now conscripting woman ( chosen by occupation) says it all. Those millions that have fled will not return or will have to be hunted down and expelled….who is going to return to a nation where half of it lies in ruble?…..Just one of “ Zelensky’s Revenge” on the EU……
I think it was Putin who said BEFORE this war during a speech that if it happened there would be no winners.
Add war and the risk of injury or death and they would only want to leave even more.
Zelensky sure benefits from sending Christian men to their death.
i’m sure the neoCON scum demand tight borders in ukraine while demanding open borders here for “muh cheap labor”
No one ever argued that the Ukies are the sharpest bulbs in the drawers.
I see a lot of the Ah Q spirit in Russian troll comments.
The true Ukie death toll is gonna blow your hair back when it gets revealed - after the Western neocons are done wiping their bottoms with dead Ukrainians.
If we didn’t pull off a coup in 2014 Ukraine would have never had to go to war.
That’s a lot of death sentences for Putin.
