This is Dutch public broadcasting NOS reporting hit translation prompts to read in English about men fleeing military service in Ukraine.

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"?

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?

“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.

Ukrainians wanted Ukraine to join the European Union prior to the war; not to improve Ukraine but so that they could get their EU work cards and leave.

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.

If we didn’t pull off a coup in 2014 Ukraine would have never had to go to war.

The smart ones left before the Russian invasion Feb. 2022

As with WWII, the signs were all there long before the war “officially” started - the war in Donbas had already started in 2013, after the Maidan Coup, and it was clear to anyone paying attention that radical Ukraine nationalism, promoted and used by NATO and the West, was the new ideology.

If you were a Russian speaker with any Russian ancestry, you were quickly becoming a 2nd class citizen - while living in a highly corrupt and unstable country.
