Forced conscription.

But muh patriotic, anti-Putler Ukrainians...but muh insurgency...Yes, i think that's how conscription generally works.
I know it may sound weird to american, but as en European, forced conscription doesn’t particularly shock me, tough I dunno if Ukrainian still have military service to make this useful.
Bulgarian Prime Minister Kiril Petkov on Monday fired Defense Minister Stefan Yanev for his reluctance to describe the Russian invasion of Ukraine as a war, reiterating that Sofia would speak in one voice with the European Union.
Petkov said his centrist coalition government would ask parliament on Tuesday to approve Yanev's dismissal and appoint Todor Tagarev, who was a caretaker defense minister in 2013, to the post.
"My defense minister cannot use the word operation instead of the word war. You cannot call it an operation when thousands of soldiers from the one and the other side are already killed," Petkov said in a televised statement.
Because its stupid to do so when enemy artillery and airforce is looking for targets.But muh patriotic, anti-Putler Ukrainians...but muh insurgency...
If the Ukrainians were as reliable and patriotic and anti-Russian as you thought then why aren't all the pro-Ukraine twitter spammers giving us pictures of lines in front of their equivalent of draft and enlistment offices?
Also hasn’t pretty much all the equipment we’ve seen been the older Cold War stuff, for instance I don’t think we’ve seen an armata yet.Half of these losses have been fact checked to either be Ukrainian Gear with Russian Markings hastily painted on, or from earlier clashes in the Donbas going back years.
But for argument, I will give you all of these.
It makes no difference at the operational level.
The UkA is collapsing and unable to launch a Corps level counter attack to extract its troops from Donbas Front or in the Northeast. As the Northeast Pockets surrender, UkA's losses will enter crippling levels and Kyiv will become indefensible.
Whatever his material losses, Putin will make them good and more when the Operational Encirclements conclude in UkA surrenders.
Yeah, well, best troops and kit are probably held in reserve.Also hasn’t pretty much all the equipment we’ve seen been the older Cold War stuff, for instance I don’t think we’ve seen an armata yet.
I think Misha still have the Bush Cheney shirt somewhere.Paging george bush, paging George bush.

New York Post said:Under the law, which is set to go into effect Saturday, journalists face the potential whopping jail sentence for intentionally spreading “false” information — including using such words as “war” and “invasion” to describe the Russian attack.
Journalists also must verify their reports on the war with official Russian government sources.
Russia claims the “fake” news circulated by its enemies sows discord and divides its people, according to the Wall Street Journal.
“If the fakes lead to serious consequences, then imprisonment of up to 15 years threatens,” the lower house of parliament, known as the Duma in Russian, said in a statement.
They have never proved it was ukranian gear, and besides the fact Ukraine doesnt have a lot of the stuff being claimedNot by anyone reputable they haven't...
So that's literally just you making stuff up again.
I'm just wondering what safe airports they have left west of Lviv.Good.
