My Ukrainian trainee told me that the first 6 months into the war the men volunteered to join, but after that those that could left and have zero intention of going back to be drafted. They too watch Telegram....sites like @intelslava Russian propaganda, sure, they don't hide it, but not less true in what they show.
...and all can watch Lindsey Graham confessing "They're sitting on $10 to $12 trillion of critical minerals in Ukraine”, . “They could be the richest country in all of Europe. I don't want to give that money and those assets to Putin to share with China”.... and why he will let them defend these US geopolitical interests "until the last Ukrainian" standing.
