"No news is bad news."

This is why whenever we don't hear Western media trying to prop up Ukraine, it's because there's nothing to prop up.

    I have a male Ukrainian friend. His girlfriend lived in a student dormitory in another part of the city when the "busification" started. One day a neighbour of hers tried to rape her, and when she started to resist, he punched her in the abdomen area so hard she got a serious vaginal bleeding. My friend obviously wanted to rush to the dormitory to beat the fuck out of the guy and help his girlfriend but he simply couldn't because he would immediately get enrolled and sent to the warzone. And this is almost a good story compared to others I've heard...

    I'm curious, do people downvote it because even after 4 years of kidnappings with countless recordings of this happenning daily they still consider it "Russian propaganda", or are we fully in the "yes, it's happening, but it's not a big deal and we shouldn't talk about it"?

    I mean just find a Ukrainian online and talk to them. Every young man from Ukraine knows really well what "busification" is and has experienced it themselves or has friends who have.

    They fear too many people will start asking why Ukrainians don't want to fight and die for America's geopolitical interests

    Of course we need to talk about problems, im not very invested nor do i know much about the situation, i did however see this video : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=J9niN4jiRig where the desertion problem was discussed. @ 12:10 -ish into the video. Basically what is said is that there is a problem where they cant choose what unit they sign up to but if they desert and then come back within a couple of days they can enlist again and choose their prefered unit, dont know if its true but that is also a take on the situation.
