REMIX: Young Ukrainians scared to leave their homes as more and more videos emerge of forced conscription
Meanwhile, some conscription officers are making small fortunes by looking the other way as Ukraine’s youth does all it can to avoid being sent to the frontline
As Ukraine’s manpower on its frontlines starts to dwindle, military leaders are becoming increasingly desperate to locate new recruits to propel its counteroffensive against Russia forward; however, the number of young people volunteering for such a challenge has plummeted.
Recent videos of young Ukrainian men being conscripted across the country have circulated in popular encrypted messaging apps in Ukraine, and those fearful of being sent to the front are actively engaging in evasive and, in some instances, illegal tactics to avoid such a fate.

WNU Editor: I know there is now an underground railway for Ukrainians who are trying to flee the draft. I am now seeing more and more young Ukrainian males in Montreal in the past few months, and after they realize I am not a threat and that I am anti-war, they are more than happy to talk to me about what is happening back home.

Got to love that guy with the German panzer cross on his hummer. He gets the Ernie Kaltenbrunner award.
The articled says he has a nice place in Spain. I guess he, personally, is not headed to the front.
On a more serious note.
Two weeks ago we had the polish officer giving us an overview of the problems and lack of motivation with Ukrainian recruits
This article confirms the problems that were discussed in that article.
Most of the true believers are gone. A lot of remaining do not want to fight.
Due to a high battlefield death rate, This is not a good situation for the Ukrainians.
You see this goes back to game theory, which skoda did not like very much.
You have a corrupt regime. Everybody who is a citizen knows this.
Everybody knows that people are getting out of the draft ( they are cheating)
So now the stream of thought is:
When everyone else is getting out of this, why should I go off and die for zelinski and his Italian villa?
This is a perfect example of game theory at work. When everyone is cheating and winning, why should I play fair?
The system breaks down. Viet nam, Iraq, Afghanistan...this is what happens when your Allies are a corrupt regime. Your Allies are fragile, unsupportable, entities.
Is there any doubt that when the West pulls out, that Ukraine will fall apart just like the nations listed above? Of course not.
Zelinskis government will collapse and he and his minions will all run away.
Don't like what I say? Go fight history, because that is exactly what happened in the past.
Some say that this lack of manpower will force an end to the conflict by the end of the year. I still think it could be longer.
You maybe right. We see through the glass only darkly
