Galyna hunches over her small garden in Chasiv Yar, her frail silhouette in stark contrast with the powerful tanks rumbling past her home near the frontline in eastern Ukraine.

WSJ of all places 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 catching and forced conscripting often at gunpoint mostly people with zero motivation to die for him, who never served in the army, often disabled. Biden administration is getting quite desperate. The only option left for Biden administration is to throw Polish army into a meat grinder . I just hope that Polish government isn't that crazy.

Many western countries have mandatory military service and almost all European countries have laws that force men to take up arms and defend their countries if they are invaded by another country. Refusing to defend your country is called treason and punished by law. You are just spreading propaganda. Btw, the conflict between Moscow and eastern Europe and its many ethnic groups has been going on for far longer than the existence of USA. This war is effected by but not motivated or driven by US politics. Ukraine would have the full support of Europe even if USA pulled out.
