Ukraine war: Male citizens living abroad to be asked to join army
BBC ^ | Dec 21, 2023 | Robert Greenall

Ukrainian men between the ages of 25 and 60 living abroad will be asked to report for military service, Defence Minister Rustem Umerov has said.

He described this as an "invitation" - but suggested there would be sanctions against anyone who did not comply.

However, a spokesman later denied that a call-up was being considered.

President Zelensky told journalists on Tuesday that 450,000-500,000 new soldiers were needed but achieving this was a "sensitive issue".

That would mean those two Vindman brothers. They need to get their asses back to their fatherland and fight for their country.

Hah hah, Sanctions? I doubt any are going home to get killed. If they had that in mind they never would have left.

Zelensky should promise them some of that US cash he is hording instead.

75% of the polled say that they would rather relinquish citizenship.

I wonder if Denys Davydov, the former Ukrainian pilot, now draft dodger, living high on the hog in Switzerland, producing propaganda on his monetized YouTube channel, will be contacted.

They should announce Denys Davydov’s draft notice on television. They’ll need him in the Ukrainian Air Force.

This smacks of desperation. Will they televise the roundup of poor Ukrainians to die in the WEF’s meat grinder?

He could always blame it on the relentless Reverend Mother for making him so visible to the world.

We live in a world of half truths and double speak, but fear not we won’t have this world much longer, titanic change is coming very soon. Find Jesus, he’s your only hope.

IF I were Ukrainian, I would be donning a wig and identifying as female.

Lots of luck with that. Why do the Ukrainian authorities suppose those guys are abroad?

I still say we should send Ukraine a couple of million military aged male illegals we have wandering about.

Should all the Russian propagandists seen on Russian TV threatening to nuke America about every week be drafted by Moscow as well, and sent to the killing-fields of Ukraine? I would support that. Do you support that as well?

Some of you here on this thread are strongly SILENT about the Russian propagandists? I have never read anything about you criticizing Russian propagandists. How come?

Suspiciously noteworthy and interesting... indeed....

Russia doesn’t have it’s grubby hands in the U.S. taxpayers’ pockets.

I don’t care what Russia does.

Imagine that. Why? If I had an opportunity, I would flee. The Russians are sadistic. The only game changer here is that Ukraine is going to need F-22s, F-35s but they're not going to get them.

They need to lose some weight, first.

Sure, who cares that Russia, our enemy, who has thousands of nuclear warheads aimed at us, tries to rebuild their empire. Okay
