Good read. And actually reads like honest assessment, not the typical nonsense peddled, one that tirelessly tries to frame that everyone in Ukraine eager to go and fight.
I’ve said this a few times but from my personal anecdotal experience, there are hundreds of Ukrainians in my local city in the US, probably could be thousands at this point because i'm literally hearing Ukrainian spoken on streets like never before. My nanny is a 20 year old that came in December from Rivne. Her 25 yr old bf came last month and basically was able to evade draft by working in Germany before the war and never returning.
Vast majority of these people don’t want the war, and want to get away and live a normal life. The military is made up a sizable portion now of unwilling but forced and unmotivated people. That’s why you’re seeing so many surrenders, so many refusals to hold lines, etc. these people aren’t retarded, they know they are fighting a superior enemy with no real prospect of winning. It’s a really sad thing that their government isn’t looking for someway to end this like yesterday.
Garbage commentary there are over a million people in the armed forces and they've held out against odds for over 2 years.
The majority are highly motivated. Would you not be motivated? If a foreign country invaded your country and threatened your family? Thats a rational reaction.
They don't WANT to be fighting any war. But they WANT to be part of the Russian federation even less.
Meanwhile Russia are feeding 30k economic migrants a month into the cannon fodder brigades. Plenty footage of them getting scrambled by drones to capture single km's or abandoned villages.
What a backwards fucked up kleptocracy that offers kids from backwater shitholes a 30 thousand dollar salary to die for nothing.
