Ukraine's desperate need for soldiers spurs exodus of young men

The barbed wire fence stretches along the bank of the river that marks Ukraine’s western border. Across the water, lie Romania and the European Union.

Before Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022, there was no fence here at this stretch of the Tisza River. But in the two and a half years since then, Ukraine has tightened security — not to keep Russians out, but Ukrainian men in.

...

The flow of men and the reinforced security at the border reflect two hard truths Ukraine faces: its military is short on soldiers and it is struggling to find volunteers willing to fight.

Two and a half years of devastating fighting has severely depleted Ukraine’s forces,

The regime running Ukraine is just plain evil. They’re keeping their own people from leaving, as well as harvesting the organs of their own wounded soldiers. What else is it doing?

When your country builds walls to keep people in you are living under tyranny.

Picture from a recent sick pervert parade in Kiev, shows plenty of fruits and girly men. Why not sent them to their forever war?

The resistance inside Ukraine destroyed over 40 vehicles overnight. Mostly those of the Shanghai Recruiters. But the internal opposition has been active for several months destroying a vehicle here and there, but now it happened all over the country at once.

Meanwhile, Zelinski has stated with British officials that there is no longer any prospect of Ukraine regaining any of their lost lands. Yet, Zelinski is demanding that his forces launch one last ditch “Battle of the Bulge” offensive before any negotiaitons; he wants to use his F16s for ground support in this offensive before they are destroyed.

Referendums in Ukraine by Zelinski so people can vote on giving up land. Yet they cannot have an election??? The Facists in the White House has repudiated “Democracy” in the eyes of the world.

Russia is advancing on all fronts. The Western Media is slowly coming around to the prospect that they will not be able to hide the truth much longer for the political class.

There has never been any public discussion of this war in the US. Trump needs to make it a campaign issue and tell AmeriKa how much has been spent by the taxpayers. With a 35T debit, and the Biden Admin printing 1T a month (vice 1T every three months the first 3 years of his admin) the US is broke. In about three months the US will not be able to pay the interest alone on the debt. The financial management of AmeriKa by the DNC is one single issue that should be on the ballot.

Where's our resident zeeper with his stale three days to Kiev joke? A three day war would have been a blessing for the Ukrainian soldiers.

In a great irony it is Ukraine that uses blocking units.

Excellent. As long as The Dancer is in the first wave of the assault.

Oh, well. I think most American Citizen taxpayers are tired of funding ukraine’s pensions, arms, medical care and the incredible criminal grift they are continuing. Who cares? More popcorn!!! Maybe zelinsky will return to playing the piano with his penis to earn a few bucks. Also, his wife may have to cut back on her extravagant shopping trips to Paris. So sad.
