When sky reports the truth, conditions must be 10 times worse.

being from Romania, I notice a fact. the poor are forced to fight, the rich pay and cross the border. the poor either die or return from the war and remain poor, while those who are rich will return after the war is over and will be richer. it's hard to force someone who doesn't have anything valuable, to fight in a war.

Why must men die for corrupt politicians

Let me correct your vocabulary: "Don't want to fight" means "Don't want to get killed". "dodge the conflict" means "Don't want to die". "Need more troops" means "the old troops are dead" 😂😂😂

I like how when women flee Ukraine to avoid the war they are brave "refugees". When men flee Ukraine to avoid the war they are "dodging", with the implication being cowardice. Neither one wants to die. Time to stop this double standard?

The rich Ukranians are partying in Berlin while their poor brothers get sent to the front as NATO canon fodder.

Why die for a banker's war and a shill leader

As long as the female half of the Ukrainian population is exempted from military service despite having the same rights as the men, Ukrainian men are more than right in dodging the draft. Whether they like it or not.
