| Sep 22, 2022 at 20:16 | comment | added | convert | @BeBraveBeLikeUkraine But why then Ukraine needs a law forbiding men with age 18-60 to leave the country? | |
| Sep 22, 2022 at 18:09 | comment | added | Be Brave Be Like Ukraine | @convert, you're a bit late. :) The whole Ukraine is now a stronghold of Ukrainian nationalists. And no, "moskali" is not the strongest word our mainstream news outlets use to call the invaders. Anyway, I hope that even russian propagandists on this site are unable to deny the fact that Ukraine is not asking our allies to send soldiers, and the photo at the Military Commissariat has intended to explain why. | |
| Sep 22, 2022 at 15:57 | comment | added | Gary 2 | @BeBraveBeLikeUkraine My prayers are with you. However, several Ukrainian PoW men said the same what you said Russian men said. That's what I saw in videos in Telegram channel of Russian MoD | |

In that regions there are defenetly many motivated people who want to kill some russians, for which they are using a more abusive term "moskali". But that western regions are not representing the whole Ukraine and like @vsz said there are many young man triing to escape conscription in Ukraine. | |
| Sep 22, 2022 at 10:32 | comment | added | Be Brave Be Like Ukraine | @vsz I agree that there is a huge russian propaganda trying to convince us about the equivalence between Ukrainians who are fleeing from devastated towns and russians who supported the war since 2014 and now realized that the war came back home on Russia. There is no evidence to consider the two situations equivalent yet, but I like your idea that someday it would become, indeed, equivalent for russian towns, too. :-) | |
| Sep 22, 2022 at 10:25 | comment | added | vsz | @MikeBrockington : I've seen and heard of many cases of bribing border guards to leave the country despite being eligible for conscription (living in a neighboring country, one might see and hear more things than which are widely reported). | |
| Sep 22, 2022 at 8:44 | comment | added | MikeB | @vsz It's hardly the same thing to compare people fleeing Ukraine because they feared it was about to be over-run, with Russians fleeing forced conscription. The press in Ukraine is reasonably free, yet we don't hear of them trawling through their gaols looking for volunteers either. | |
| Sep 22, 2022 at 8:39 | comment | added | vsz | About the last paragraph: there is a huge propaganda campaign going on from both sides. Just as easily as you pointed at some young Russians fleeing from mobilization and a picture of a couple dozen Ukrainians eager to enlist, some could point at young Ukrainian men fleeing the country and young Russians eager to enlist (including ethnic Russians living in Ukraine joining the separatists). Therefore, this is anecdotal evidence at best. | |
