Shout-out to the equal and brave 7 million women who fled and left behind their sons and husbands

[@jamesstevenson5329]

don't lie to yourself, you would be the first to run away😂😂

[@orestmakar8562]

There are 6,5 million women and children that were forced to leave Ukeaine. Many lost their homes and have nothing to return to while what is left from their homes is either occupied or very close to the frontline. The fact that you openly and knowingly distort the facts to badmouth Ukrainian war victims is truly dispicable. In 99,9 cases the women and children left because their fathers, brothers and sons wanted them to leave so they can be safe. Many of the refugees have returned. Shout out to all the „brave” morons that feel they can make hypotetical moral joudgements about what other people do during a war. When your home is destroyed, your husband loses his sight and arms and everyday you live with fear of geting rapes m, tortured and killed give us a shout out about the brave decisions you have made. You have zero right to joudge anyone because you have never been in a similar situation and your tiny brain cannot even process what these people have to go threw and what choices they have to make.

1:30 Why do they pretend this man had a choice between staying safe or fighting?

[@orestmakar8562]

He had a choice as when the war broke out many men volunteraly joined the army to defend their country. This young man was one of such men. Therfore he made a choice to fight.

[@naa4362]

We need a documentary about this

[@user-wm7dl5iw9f]

mthf russia

[@joshuapaul2022]

WSJ is describing Zelenskyy mobilization in this way: "Mr. Zelensky in January introduced even harsher punishment for desertion and disobedience . A disabled person was drafted in western Ukraine and pronounced fit for service despite having no hands. Another died on the front lines within a month of mobilization after 10 days of training, according to his relatives." Zelenskyy is officially catching and forced conscripting even disabled (not only army recruiters, but also police, border police, secret police and even municipal authorities are officially hunting for hapless cannon fodder leaving desperate people no chance to escape Zelenskyy goons). When such people are in the trenches let alone forced to go on the offensive, it's a recipe for disaster. They simply refuse to fight and surrender at the first opportunity.

[@anthonyrodriguez4122]

How are they zalensky goons when the goons are the ones invading Ukraine for no reason at all. Russian soldiers are dying for no reason at all.

[@Mouser74]

Well it doesnt look like he has to worry to much about desertion seems like alot of devoted patriotic Ukrainian men and women fighting. Unlike the Russians 😆😆 lmfao!!

[@joshuapaul2022]

​@@Mouser74Yeah, everybody in Ukraine is dreaming to die for Zelenskyy. He is so photogenic.😂

[@Mouser74]

Weirdo

[@MoneyMan28]

@@naa4362 Yes it will, russia doesn't need that much land for 140 million people. china and India have 20 times more people 3 billion but less land than russia

Tell ukrain to admit and stop war than showing us this video doesnt help

[@Mouser74]

They didnt start it moron if some country invaded your and blew your house up left you homeless killed your sister and child would you just give up? If you would i pity your cowardness

[@chandelier6811]

Tell Russia to stop they invaded after all

[@orestmakar8562]

Russia invaded and occupied/anexed parts of internationally recognised territory of Ukraine back in 2014, has been waging a hybrid proxy war lyong about the presence of its regular and irregular forces and weapons eventually escalatong the hybrid proxy conflict into a full scale open invasion of Ukraine which aim was to conquer Ukraine and bring it by force under tussian rules. What Russia did is fundamentally illegal and violates fundamental principals of international law and multiple bilateral and multilateral agrements both Ukraine and Russia gave signed. Russia is a cowardly gopnik imperialist colonial state. Most of the territory of Russia belongs to other nations which russia conquered and with which it has nothing in common with. Russia is the last colonial Empire that needs to be dismanteled as its imperialism causes it to invade and conquer its neighbours. It can do it because it exploits its colonies by exploiting their natural resources while keeping them in extream poverty to fund its barbaric police state, propaganda machine and agresive invasion army. Doen with Russian colonial state, down with Putin and his bloody feudal oligarchic and fascistic regime.
