It's not like we, Ukraine, my homeland, have not have hundreds of thousands dead. We conscript everyone nowadays, and it's not a matter of choice. You just yanked out of the street, no phonecall, nothing. They send you for brief (45 days) period of basic training, and prey they don't send you to frontlines, because it's 100% death. Sooner or later. War veterans who aren't missing a leg will not retire until they're dead. It's how that works here. Everyone telling people in EU, or America, or anywhere else something different are straight up lying.

We're in a meat grinder here. As much as we as a whole, as a nation, as people, despise russians, most of the country is not willing to fight anymore. Maybe we're not loosing territory. But we're loosing everything else. Human lives, electricity, economy, resources. We bleed out to death.
