An early burst of patriotic fervor saw draft centers swamped with volunteers, but that has waned with Vladimir Putin’s war in its third year.

We’re kept being told that Ukrainians want to fight, but the reality is that the Ukrainian regime is forcing people to fight against their will. This is what the west is supporting in Ukraine.

    Oh, so you’re saying young people don’t want to be sent to the slaughter and die for US capitalism and western imperialism? Hmmm…

    Another ghoulish part is that the consent they’re trying to manufacture isn’t “hey, maybe we shouldn’t send the youth of a country 1000s of miles away from our own when they’re kicking and screaming while being snatched off the street”, but “you’re not dying hard enough - we need more blood for the blood god… at least until we have our elections, or come up with a way to save face, or something”

    Is there any country where everyone will participate fully in the type of war Ukraine is in?" he asked. "It seems to me that it would be very difficult to carry out such mobilization in any European country, to put it mildly, and much harder than even in Ukraine. You must consider that people are invested in their careers and the good life,” he told POLITICO.

    Podolyak added: "It is different for Russians — many people are enduring uncomfortable lives and are unemployed and they are paid a good salary in Russian terms to fight and then they are also told they can kill and steal with impunity.”

    Ukraine FAMOUSLY on the same level of economic abundance than imperialist countries 🤣
