Anton (name has been changed) was a businessman in Ukraine. On February 24, he drove to the border with his wife and their two children to escape the Russian invasion. The trip, which usually takes only a few hours, took them almost the entire day.
But while they were still en route, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy banned men between the ages of 18 and 60 from leaving the country.
That meant Anton's wife and children were allowed to leave for the EU, while he stayed behind — and immediately began to look for ways to reunite with them. "Duty to the family had priority," Anton said. He drove to a village on the border with Romania, aiming to cross the Tisza River. "We were several men. But locals betrayed us and we were caught. We didn't even make it to the river," Anton told DW, adding that he later heard that smugglers usually take four people to the river for $5,000 (€4,930) each and show them where to cross. Anton was drafted into the army on the spot, but there was no suitable assignment for him so he returned home and made new plans to leave.
The ban on leaving the country does not apply to single fathers, men who have three or more children, and people with disabilities. Students of foreign universities, drivers of humanitarian aid transports, as well as persons with permanent residence abroad are also exempt from the ban.
Some men who fall into neither of those categories but want to leave Ukraine choose the route via Crimea, which was annexed by Russia. Others enroll in a foreign university, find a job as a volunteer emergency aid driver or try to cross the so-called green border on foot.

We bring in the women-widows with 3 kids.
Kick them out forever or conscript them.
Hey, all they need to do is identify as women, and the problem is solved! How can Z complain? He wants to bring gender ideology to Ukraine.
More seriously, the Ukrainians know that they will be used as cannon fodder to the greater glory of our Neocons and their criminal accomplices, including Z. The lives of those boys and men mean nothing to the psychopaths in the Biden administration, the WEF, NATO, etc. Those men and boys don’t want to be fed into the RF meatgrinder on the eastern front to support the latest Ukrainian coup government, which is the criminal Z regime.
Transvestia stronk! Slobber Ukraini Rainbow Flag!
Tyrants gotta tyrate.
This link shows a bunch of failed escapees caught in a van.
The other thing shown is people escaping over the river by raft.

There is an important distinction between people who are conscripted into military service and people who are banned from leaving, but not then formally mobilised or equipped to fight.
When you are drafting 60 year old men you are losing badly.
In this case, probably not much difference. But granting your general premise, the second category is prisoners of the state and the first is cannon fodder. No country that refuses to let its people leave can be called free.
They dress as women and prostitute them selfs to the Turkish women with adams apples. They then get visas and come to America as triffeds Abord pan am jets. Old as time.
The Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries in the world and Zelensky is a tyrant who has banned all opposition political parties, arrested political party leaders and has seized all media.
NOTHING THAT IS WORTH YOUR LIFE DEFENDING THERE.

That age can have a lot of accounting experience needed for money laundering.
Texas A&M is accepting Ukrainian students, giving them free room and board, free tuition and textbooks, free spending money, etc. Free, free, free except to the taxpayers and the US students who got the boot to make room for these new “students”.
Good to see that we are not the only one with a border problem.
Can you blame them? No Ukrainian with any common sense wants to die for the evil Victoria Nuland, the Vegetable Joe Biden, and his crackhead son?
I’ve seen videos of Ukrainian men refusing to evacuate Russian occupied territory because they know they will be drafted if they leave. Those wanting to fight are already in the army, none of the other men want anything to do with it. They aren’t interested in becoming cannon fodder in a hopeless war, and I don’t blame them for wanting to stay out of it.
