Assaults on military recruiters almost tripled to 341 last year compared with 2024, and more than 100 have been recorded so far this year, the Interfax-Ukraine news service reported earlier this month, citing police data. Some attacks involved knives, leading to serious injuries and at least one fatality, according to public reports.
Ukraine must rely on conscription and appeals to patriotism to bolster its forces of about 900,000 against Russia’s full-scale invasion. Under martial law, all men aged between 25 and 60 are eligible for military service in Ukraine if they receive a draft notice, unless they have an exemption. But official data show that about 2 million are being sought by police due to violations of conscription rules.

Pretty unavoidable, but at least they can leverage a strong patriotic sentiment. Putlerstan has the same thing happening even after cheating North Koreans and Africans into marching to death.
Jesus christ, this is like a 3x multiplier of racist libshit cope
That struck a nerve I see! Drink a lot and breathe, the future is dire but as much as you depict it!
Maga fascists(“are you triggered??”)🤝blue maga fascists (“Heh, it appears I le struck a nerve”)
Why?
Because frankly it needs to be seen to be believed
I’ll tell you something I didn’t realize but I bet you did. Coming from reddit, I converted my subs and this was the replacement for the world news sub. I didn’t realize the world news lemmy with the most subs was entirely run by you limp dicked tankies. I guarantee 90% of the other people subbed here also didn’t realize that because who could have imagined that could’ve happened? You people are awful and nothing you say or do is going to affect the world around you. Your weird little Russian spy cosplay is pathetic.
Don’t let the door hit you, I guess?
nothing you say or do is going to affect the world around you
Get ready to learn Chinese, buddy
Thanks, really cleared that one up. So just angry at nothing there, huh?
Liberal 1: posts the most racist shit you’ve seen all week
Communist: this sucks and so do you
Liberal 2: This doesn’t look like anything to me, you’re just crazy🤷♂️
Thank you for demonstrating why your white supremacist ideology is dying in real time
I couldn’t imagine dying for Ukraine or Russia. Both are incredibly corrupt and are just using their citizens as meatbags to further the wealth of their rulers.
I may not be willing to die for just about any country, but… I might be willing to die to avoid everyone I know forcefully becoming Russian. Just because things may be bad in Ukraine doesn’t mean they couldn’t be markedly worse under Russia. For example, only one of the two is conscripting people to make an utterly unprovoked attack on a nation they had already promised to respect the sovereignty of.
And before anyone tries to “bUt NaTo ExPaNsIoN”, feel free to miss me with that shit. Russia is trying to claim they’re a world power, they have the agency to make their own decisions, and they CHOSE to violate their agreements, just like they CHOSE to antagonize all their neighbors into joining a defensive alliance against them. The two newest NATO members are there as a direct response to this war of aggression because they don’t want to be the target of the next unfounded war of aggression.
Get on the plane then
But would you really fight as a mercenary?
Even after what happened to the reddit brigade?
Who said anything about mercenaries? This is all about drafted soldiers for the Ukrainian military. If Russia was trying to conquer my country and I wanted to get involved, no, I would not fight as a mercenary.
So you’re saying you would willingly die for NATO ideals?
If by “NATO ideals”, you mean some idea of western imperialism, then no. If instead you mean defending myself and my allies from completely unwarranted attacks in direct violation of previous agreements from a nation that will obviously abuse them if allowed to, then yeah.
I don’t think you understand this conflict as well as you’re pretending to. I don’t really understand it thoroughly but I do understand way more than “Russia attacked Ukraine out of nowhere because they’re evil” which is usually followed by “Putin is evil and also a communist and wants to bring back the USSR which is evil”
pissing into the wind now cuz u caught a ban though. What a shame
Then I misunderstood. I thought you meant you’d be going to the current war and fighting there. Did you instead mean, that the drafted ukrainians should be willing to die?
I won’t fault anyone who refuses to fight and possibly die for nation state business. I think it’s admirable that some of them are willing to defend their homeland from an encroaching tyrant, but I won’t expect it of anyone. I think we should all have the right to pacifism, so long as we are willing to accept the consequences of living in a world that does not share that ideal.
Someone gonna learn the hard way that he doesn’t have any card. Even if the war end tomorrow the labor shortage is incredible. They fought well, sad they cant accept that they will never get back to the pre war situation.
Well conscription is slavery so I am not shocked this is happening. And both sides are doing it here. They really hate their men in both countries.
Its unfortunate that it’s come to that. Fuck Russia.
