All Ukrainian men between the ages of 18 and 60 are banned from leaving the country. The Ukrainians have lost over 100,000 military casualties in this meat grinder. It is roughly equivalent to the US losing 800,000 if you account for population differences.

There are over 1 million Ukrainian refugees in Germany. Doubtful many will return. Ukraine was a poor country before the war. Its per capita GDP was just $100 more than Cuba’s.

And yet somehow 2.7 million Ukrainians successfully sought refuge in Russia, by far the largest group of refugees in Europe. And they’ll never be deported to die on the front. They’re safe.

You need to wake up. It’s happening all over Europe. Ukrainian refugees in Europe are destined for deportation and death.

Z just signed a decree lowering conscription age to 16

There are some heartbreaking vids filmed by brave outraged onlookers ( filming is illegal)…one where parents try to protect their boys age 16 and 17 from being press-ganged. One uniformed slob coldly snaps their pictures saying ‘ we will remember these children’

Another a screaming mother tries to hold her boy..video ends when another uniformed slob punches her

For those who say this is ‘ Russian propaganda” it is now happening all over Ukraine, a major focus is slobs in uniform chasing down and grabbing males in minority ethnic provinces. Like Transcarpathian hungarian speakers.

I wonder how Lindsey Graham sleeps knowing the “ last Ukrainian” may be a 16 yr old boy.

It’s only true if Ukraine says it is. This is why I keep running into Ukrainian refugees in Alberta. They all blame zelensky and ran for safety. I’m sure it’s not true even if it is first hand information.

P.S. Ukraine is more corrupt than your wildest dreams. The things going on would curdle your blood.

Col Douglas MacGregor has the number of Ukrainian casualties even higher, approaching 250,000 (KIA, wounded and missing). And to think this was all ironed out last March, except for Washington, London and the screaming Neocon class who demanded blood, and still do as is evidence on these threads.

Also in UK where the reporting onus is on “hosts” to provide data on their male ‘ guests” or have their govt subsidies cut.

Reports in political blogs that the concept is to use the Ukrainians already in Poland to train on new and future delivery western tanks and weapons.
Meanwhile thousands of Poles ( merc volunteers supposedly) have been killed or wounded in Ukraine…so why keep sheltering draft dodgers?

So now we have undeniable proof that Ukrainians are using chemical weaponry on Russians. https://t.co/WZhFqfxIJf— Maharlika ☦️🇵🇭🌴 (@Jordanpkjj) February 7, 2023

“My Polish cousin just got back from Warsaw - Poland is loaded with Ukrainians - the Poles want them to leave - The Ukrainians have to intention of going back.”

Feel bad for him, but his government is responsible for the mess there. But it does make sense as to why Poland wants their slice of Ukraine, as it means that they’ll be able to send back all of these (fake) refugees.

That number ( 257,000 kia) reportedly came from recent Zaluzhny meeting with Milley

I assume given his previous position that McGregor has sources

By battle statistics, there should be a killed: wounded ratio of 1:3 or so…but the Uke numbers look like the slaughter rate is higher

Also almost 20,000 captured

The stats from besieged Bakhmut are not in
And the uke casualty rate is now rising in western Luhansk

I just cannot blame these guys. When I joined the service there were two things I wanted no part of, one being a tank and the other a ship as they are both death traps.

Now take this war with precision missiles and drones. The life expectancy in battle has got to be in minutes.

I read in the past that the US was training Ukraine troops in the US. I wondered how many of them would disappear into the population so as not to be sent back to Ukraine.
