I'd like more than one source to confirm this.
It's probably true, but I'd like to see more than one.
If the USA was invaded and there was a war against us, I'm sure that lots of the snowflakes and young 'woke' left wingers here would be running for the border to try to hide. They'd be wanting others to do the work to keep the country free ... all while on their cell phones recording their 'suffering' online.
Russia has millions leaving and that makes even more sense since for them it is an unneeded war and Putin doesn't have issues with seeing a million or more men dead or permanently handicapped. For Ukraine with a population of 45 million, you will always have a small percentage of people who don't care and do whatever to get out of service even if it means Russia rules, and there is a small percentage that wants it to happen, so kind a little bit more complex than just two countries fighting.

You don't know if it's a small percentage who doesn't want to fight. The UK based channel argued there are thousands and thousands of young men leaving and in a few months there wouldn't be more for conscription if it goes this way. Which means that many young Ukrainian men have either died or seriously injured despite what the western media have said about victory and all that bs

Let's say 20,000 in the population of men. That would be .0009% Is that a small percentage to you? 2.2 million would be 1%. Also, do you blame Putin for any of this? It's like you would blame America for the deaths of 405,000 Americans in WWII and not say anything about Hitler.
The video serves as a reminder of what war is and a reply to all online posters who glorify war, argue that other people must fight and get killed... from their safety and comfort of their couch!

People are fleeing Ukraine and the rest who can't do it join the army with a heavy heart. If you have followed the documentary the reporter said that if the situation continues there would be no more men to fight, which means one thing only: many young men and women have died or seriously injured. You missed the whole point of this conversation.
There are no parallels between WW2 and this regional conflict.

The whole Ukraine story is sucking us dry of money and weapons, here at home everything goes down the drain but we send money to the whole world and it seems it´s still not enough for some people.
But is the Ukraine my homeland?
I don´t think that you know what i think and guess that applies to everyone except me.
You know what, i simply don´t want a war and so i don´t support those who do everything to finally launch world war three, whatever their real crude reasons are. You and me seem to be very different when it comes to this.

There are parallels, one country is trying to take another country over by force... Kind of like WWII in a nutshell. Well, they better kill off 30+ million, since the Russians are dying at a much faster rate, we can hope Russia hits some wall first. BTW I have been in Poland Training Ukrainians, and I didn't see heavy hearts, but a lot of very focused people wanted to learn as fast as possible even if it was 16 hours a day.
Send your heavy heart messages to Putin...

If they speak Russian, why flee. Putin is just protecting Russian speaking people’s. Well, other than the ones being used as canon fodder.

I don't support Putin or Zelensky.
You said on your post before the one I am replying now that Ukraine shouldn't be blamed. But I didn't blame Ukraine. If you want however to play the blane game everyone is to be blamed for the continuation of the war including the west using Ukraine in this proxy war.

Putin is to blame very plain and simple, but people here are blaming Ukraine without a single point towards Russia. So what if people are leaving that don't care enough to fight for their country...They can deal with that down the road.

Around 27% of Ukraine has been occupied. Do you think the Russians will give it back? Some of it could be negotiated but most of it will become Russian territory.
And the west must stop using Ukraine in a proxy war.
The people who support the endless conflicts must first send their kids and grandkids to fight and die and then argue what is ethical or unethical.
