Ukraine's new mobilization law: not effective enough? | DW News
At least two people have been killed and several wounded in the latest Russian airstrikes on the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv. Kharkiv, which is close to the Russian border, and has increasingly been the target of attacks.
In western Ukraine, at least five people were killed and 30 wounded in a Russian missile attack on the Black Sea port of Odesa. One of the buildings badly damaged was a law school commonly known as the 'Harry Potter castle' of Odesa.
With the frontline situation worsening, Ukraine has been stepping up recruitment efforts. As part of a new mobilization law, Kyiv has stopped issuing passports and providing consular services for military-age men. Our next report looks at what this means for Ukrainians abroad.

The word democracy comes from the Greek words "demos" and "kratia", meaning people's rule. The biggest mistake people make when talking about democracy is they assumed all people are "people". Ancient Greece had a large slave population that weren't considered people, and when Europe preaches democracy, they only ever considered themselves as people. The consider Ukrainians slaves.

I'm not denying biological facts and the battlefield usually requires a strong physique. There are, however, other tasks during war time such as logistics and nursing, in which women are desperately needed. It is beyond absurd, that you can find Ukrainian women on tinder in the West at the same time young men are banned from leaving the country (the latter I fully understand and accept, the first is insane).
@stupidburp

The original reason was to protect population recovery over the long term. Soviets had more women in military service than anywhere else during WW2. This was in spite of strong attitudes against it because they were desperate. Women continued in service postwar but there was also pressure for them have children to restore the population. Ukraine has conscription laws largely based on expectations of family roles and some gender bias based on perceptions of capabilities. But this is partially a product of the history of repeated demographic disasters in Ukraine such as the mass starvation of the Holodomor as well as wars. Universal conscription regardless of gender would be more fair and more useful. But it would be an unpopular change in the law at this point. It still might happen if necessary.
Nobody chooses the country they're born in, or the consequences of the choices of its leadership. If you can't convince a man to willingly fight for his home, his family and his country then you have bigger problems than the enemy at your doorstep. Maybe there isn't anything worth fighting for.

It was such a total tragedy with the primadona ex communist leaders of each region suddenly finding god and nationalism as a tool for carving out their own political agenda. The whole coin could have joined the EU and then peacefully split like Czech and Slovakia. That war was a colossal waste of lives and money. At least Croatia and Slovenia made it into the EU.

As a Ukranian who lives aboard I can take care of myself and my family without state "help". No money worth dying or becoming permanently mentally/physically disabled. If the country doesn't look for a solution to save as many people as possible why do people have to give their lives for nothing? There's no shame in striving to have a decent life for the people who you really need around (for the government you are just a number). From my "peasant" point of view - neither Crimea nor any other part of Ukraine is worth a single human's life.

@@PaulV. . So your answer is, times have changed and poor young draftees did NOT refuse to follow orders, run or surrender back in the day but now poor young draftees WILL refuse to follow orders, run or surrender. History and active wars today prove that wrong because hundreds of thousands of poor young draftees are firing weapons at each other on front lines all over the globe every day. Poor young draftees get two opportunities to make a choice. First, facing the conscription itself. Run or be executed. Second, to fight when faced with people shooting at you to kill. So what happens? What always happens? Where's the motivation you ask? After a group of disparate poor young draftees are thrust together in boot camp training something transformative happens. They learn they have strengths they never knew they had & they learn to operate as a cohesive force without individualism. The bonds of a Soldiers Brotherhood are sown. They WILL fight for each other. They won't care about the reasons why. The most important motivation is to stay alive. Their brother on their right alive. Their brother on their left alive. Poor young draftees have always fought this way and will always fight this way.
This is pathetic. Men who do not want to fight are forced to fight and die. Its almost certain that you will die or seriously wounded if take part in this war. This war must be stopped now.
Rich people convincing poor people to die as pawns is always a mystery to me
