20,000 Ukrainian men have fled the country to avoid being drafted, with dozens escaping daily - even swimming across rivers to avoid going to war.....

Between February 2022 and August 2023, as many as 19,740 fled Ukraine illegally into Romania, Moldova, Poland, Hungary and Slovakia - with dozens continuing to leave daily.

More than 21,000 have also 'attempted to leave' the country since Russia's brutal invasion but have been' turned back' by Ukrainian authorities, according to Kyiv.

Ukraine's President has warned that there has been a tenfold increase in exemptions since February last year, blaming corruption among medical military commissions.

In August, the US estimated as many as 70,000 could have been killed - a significant proportion of the 800,000 reported to be in Ukraine's armed forces in September.......but Neither Russia nor Ukraine reports its number of casualties.

.The Russian-installed official responsible for occupied Kherson this week conceded that some Ukrainian soldiers were 'blocked' in Krynky, a small village on the Dnipro's eastern bank of the Dnipro river, and were facing a 'fiery hell' from Russian artillery, rockets and drones.

ROTFL! I guess that explains why “Flounder” Vindman, the treasonous Ruzzki Army bastard who helped overthrow President Trump is running for Congress. The U.S. Congress doesn’t have enough enemy infiltrators yet.

Millions of men have fled the Ukraine. Poland alone has 2 million Ukrainian refugees and not all of them are women, children, and old men.

Roughly 40% of Ukraine’s population has fled the country. This article is a flat out lie.

“LOL.

Not nearly as laughable as the suggestion only 70,00 died. Probably 500,000 by now.

Ukraine wouldn’t be drafting women snd old men if they still had an army of 700,000.

20,000, as opposed to 500,000 Russians who also fled to avoid going to war..

Ukraine wins that part of the battle.

Russians are much more free to travel than Ukrainians. But simple minds do not know this.

Imagine being the type of person who believes this, and that 500,000 Russians are dead and Ukraine has a five-digit number of soldier deaths and also we need to send more money to Ukraine or they'll lose.

All-day sucker for government propaganda.

Why is that so hard to imagine? Reports early on during the start of the war indicated that hundreds of thousands of Russian fled before they could be drafted and sent to war. Reports also indicate that hundreds of thousands of Russians have died in the war, and that the total number of casualties for Russian are way over a million (dead and injured).

Ukraine is not losing the war, but the Russians have already lost their goal of taking Ukraine, but they won't admit it, and so, they have to continue to pretend that they still have a chance to win. Russia will only 'win' when the U.S. pulls another 'Afghanistan' and abandons Ukraine.

Actually, it's the opposite of what you said. Russians are not so free, and the Ukes can travel when they wish and ot wherever they wish. It's the simple minds that believe what you just posted. I know a few Russians and they don't see what you're talking about.

Your country is invaded & you run? Sounds like 20K cowards who should never be allowed to return.
