    In Ukraine support to continue fighting has polled really high, over 70% support is what I saw at the start of this year so I’m not sure where you are getting that Ukraine is forced to fight. Like I’m sure some people have gotten conscripted that don’t want to fight but saying the entire Ukraine military is fighting against it’s will is absolutely false.

      I’m sure you have read many stories about Russians trying to dodge their draft but similar stories exist for Ukrainians. I have seen videos of Ukrainian men hidden in train ceilibgs being pulled out and conscripted.

      The average age of the Ukrainians fighting is also higher than the Russians right now
