Ukraine urgently needs new soldiers, but some — left uneasy by brutal fighting and intensifying conscription efforts — are desperately trying to avoid being called up.

“When you see people in uniform, you panic. You start thinking someone will mobilize you now against your will,” a lawyer based in Kyiv told NBC News. He did not want his identity known, fearful, like a growing number of men across the country, of being drafted into the army...

“I love my country,” he said in a phone interview earlier this month. “I donate to the Ukrainian army. But unfortunately, I am not very prepared to fight on the front lines because I don’t have the experience and I am probably not morally prepared to kill somebody, even if it’s someone Russian.”

Agree

Any time the Russian forces advance X miles, they leave a trail of near total destruction of X miles and a legacy of twice the number of dead Russians as dead Ukrainians.

At this point Russia is simply trying to blast the Ukranian army into oblivion using glide bombs and artillery.

Keep bleating lies Blitzy. The entire front is being pushed westward and Russia has not committed its main attack forces yet. Summer is here and Zeepers fear.

Keep smoking the hopium BG. Take deep, deep drags because you are not only lying to us, you are lying to yourself.

a legacy of twice the number of dead Russians as dead Ukrainians.

Only blithering idiot would believe that.

Russia has a 10-1 edge in ammo and missiles fired and complete air superiority. There is no chance the Russian causalities are going to come close the number suffered by Ukraine.

You're more proof Zeepers are dumbest or most dishonest people posting here.

You're AOC crazy.

To save democracy, they had to destroy democracy. To save the village....

***Zelensky is officially a dictator as his term expired last week. He canceled the elections and now rules without being elected.***

How can you have a nationwide election when you are in a war for national survival against an invader who is occupying your territory and millions of your people are refugees spread across Europe or are internally displaced?

Stop parroting Kremlin propaganda and think.

So he's either a conscientious objector or just a coward. And what are we supposed to conclude from this? There are people like that in every country in the world, it proves nothing.
