Assaults on military recruiters almost tripled to 341 last year compared with 2024, and more than 100 have been recorded so far this year, the Interfax-Ukraine news service reported earlier this month, citing police data. Some attacks involved knives, leading to serious injuries and at least one fatality, according to public reports.

Ukraine must rely on conscription and appeals to patriotism to bolster its forces of about 900,000 against Russia’s full-scale invasion. Under martial law, all men aged between 25 and 60 are eligible for military service in Ukraine if they receive a draft notice, unless they have an exemption. But official data show that about 2 million are being sought by police due to violations of conscription rules.

If by "NATO ideals", you mean some idea of western imperialism, then no. If instead you mean defending myself and my allies from completely unwarranted attacks in direct violation of previous agreements from a nation that will obviously abuse them if allowed to, then yeah.

    I don’t think you understand this conflict as well as you’re pretending to. I don’t really understand it thoroughly but I do understand way more than “Russia attacked Ukraine out of nowhere because they’re evil” which is usually followed by “Putin is evil and also a communist and wants to bring back the USSR which is evil”

    pissing into the wind now cuz u caught a ban though. What a shame
