So they don’t want to die in a pointless war. Shocking.
I mean, out of all the wars in the last 20 years, this one would probably be the LEAST pointless. Of course, dying in a war is still dying, regardless of how noble the cause...
@@GTA5Player1this is said about every new war lol. Remember when Saddam was about to nuke the world and in bed with Al Qaeda. 20 years later there would be another war that your chumps will swallow up
@@GTA5Player1Oh, dying for BlackRock and the US MIC is pointless? 🤣🤣🤣
@@hoang1730 Or like, stopping Putin and his aggressive foreign policy, and showing these dictators that military warfare doesn't fly in the 21st century
Most of Ukranians left long before war started (since 1989 Ukraine independence state lost ~57% of it's population)
So obviously they have a zero point to return NOW.
To die for greedy politicians?

Didn’t Zelenskyy say publicly that Ukraine had only lost 35k troops?
I thought Ukraine already won the war! Is the war still going on? Are we living in the dark?
true, why need more soldiers. only 35K dead
What other U numbers are lies?
@@nuke_GodjiraYou're probably right, but it's not a laughing matter
Ha ha true.
Eff that. I served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Don’t fall for their lies. It’s not worth it. When you come back home and you’re all messed up you get no help and society will shun you. They get to enjoy life and you get to sit there and suffer the rest of your life. That’s the truth . however, it’s still not as bad as the Vietnam era vets. My uncle was one of them and he carried a lot from his tours there.
This is one worst because russia are not on horse back like Afghanistan they have proper shovels
But only 30K were killed, why telling Ukraine men abroad to return?
Because 30k is pure fiction. The place is a meat grinder to test western weapons.
You are absolutely right..
Im all for Ukraine and him saying 30k is just foolish
so what do you suggest? let them stay outside of ukraine? and let those inside ukraine to fight? when war is over they will be back as if nothing had happened. everyone as much had to do their share to defend the country. that is the reason why you are a citizen of a country. not citizens only during good times.
@@srebaayao9616like they had a choice where they were born... if you grew up there, saw the corruption and injustice first hand, you might not want to fight either.

I feel sorry for these poor Ukrainian men. The rich ones will never go and fight. Only the poor ones 😢
That's the way life works. Same thing happened here in the US during WWII, Korea and Vietnam.
@TheBandit7613 yeah. Later, when the war ends, most of these poor soldiers will end up homeless and jobless. The politicians and the rich will then enjoy.

@@nickyliu8762 IDF does indeed conscript women. and their captivity in the recent wars have been one of the biggest political fallout in their recent history. So I can see why zelensky does not want that. Regardless of people clamouring for their draft, the truth is, once enough of them have been captured, the govt. will be forced by its own people to negotiate. people actually care for women captives even if they are trained combatants.

Funny that the vibe of the speech seemed to imply that, its better to be under Russia occupation.
@@Writeous0ne Pretty sure this "democracy and freedom" agenda is pushed in many countries, but the reality is nobody is free and when you think about it - there's no democracy either. The world is run by wealthy corporations and whatever average people choose - it doesn't matter. We're just being fed this illusion to keep us doing what they want.
Does that mean Denys Davidov will return to Ukraine to fight?
😂😂😂
He was literally the first person I thought about when I saw the title of this video 😂😂 I wonder if he'll own up to his responsibility and return, or if he'll keep begging others to save his country for him while he lives off of CZcams videos from the comfort of Switzerland.
Try to post this question on his channel. I bet you will be blocked
CZcamsrs should be exempted he argues 😂, lol
He is a keyboard warrior. He is with 23rd CZcams Mechanized Brigade.
They are free to leave a country that it’s devastated. Nobody needs to be held against their will.
My country the Netherlands gave billions of dollars. Ukrainians need to step up. If it was my country i would fight and expect my fellow country men to do so as well. It's not fair to let others not fight your battle.
@@Joey-ct8bm their battle it’s to feed their own family. In one of the most corrupt countries in the world do you expect 100% of their population being in love of society build for some elites that you might never belong. The thing it’s that forced soldiers are not good in battlefields, you have to believe for what you fight for.
@@Joey-ct8bm The why don't you join the Ukrainian military if it's that important.

@@emperorofghost Making them no better then Russia
They should not return to fight for a regime that serves someone but certainly not their own people.
@@nicolasolton because if they wanted to stay in Ukraine and serve, the country then they wouldn't leave the country at first place.
We need gender equality in Ukraine.
Women have rights? Women can hold a weapon? What's up here? Get the men there but women need too as well...they're "equal" by the way remember that
Women are less likely to be fit to serve on the front lines. You could evaluate all of them and find out who are and those who aren't could work in munitions, agriculture etc. The problem is not just physical strength with women, they tend to get shellshocked a lot easier than men do and aren't mentally set up for long wars. When the Natzis were invading Russia it was right to use women who were able, but I don't think Russia taking over a part of Ukraine is worth it frankly. We don't care in the west, and I don't get the feeling that most Ukrainians are willing to die just so they have a different dictator.
Why should they return when they have lost only 31000?😂😂😂😂😂 or someone is not telling the truth?
30,000 KIA would mean that 120,000 would be wounded. why does Russian keep conscripting men if *it* is winning Boris?
@@Cecil-yc6mcWhere/when Russia is conscripting any men?
31000 that's for one month
Why not women?
💯👏
No one wants to die for the comedian
I bet zelensky won't sign his wife up for the draft.
She's too busy buying dresses in London
I’ll bet you’re right. But here’s another question:
If Putin had a wife, he would? 😆
Kuleba, if the country gave them everything, why are they abroad?
Don't die for rich old men.
Don't die for Putin and his war! Stop the Russian fascism!
Why not women too what about equality and feminism???
These men paid a hefty sum of money or risked their lifes to leave Zelenskyland, why would they return? Smells like desperation.
Most of those men who left after February 2022, had paid a bribe to be released. The average amount of a bribe was approximately 10,000 US dollars. For Ukrainians, this is huge money
So, they shouldn't have to pay a bribe. If you're a neutral person in Ukraine who doesn't really care about Ukraine or Russia you should be allowed to leave to live your life how you wish. it's funny how Ukraine is supposed to be fighting for freedom and democracy but is becoming more autocratic by the day.
First we start from the removal of rights and languages from ethnic minorities in Ukraine. Then we have the banning of news channels, radio, political parties. Then we have the banning of languages even in media, newspapers, cinemas etc. Now we are at a stage where theres strict mobilisation, no demobilisation times for soldiers and they're trying to remove the choices of Ukrainians to leave the country or to stay but not fight. Zelensky also cancelled an election because it would reveal the amount of people who oppose him... even if it was say 20-30% who voted for another leader in the election it would be a big chunk of Ukrainian people that would show displeasure of his leadership.
For Americans that’s huge money
it was 1,000 US dollars
that’s not true . most of them were not in Ukraine when war started. many people flee from occupied territories because russians let them .
@@kacperzimowski4626 No, at least 2.5 - but only if you know the right people. For the outsiders the bribe started from 5k
Realizing that you only have one life to live, it is inhumane to deny these men the freedom to decide what to do with it. SO SAD😔

Your comment makes no sense given that they fled to the West rather than to Russia.
@@Dudelsackpfeifer There are over a million in Russia.
@@mgronich948 Yes some of which are kidnapped children, a crime for which Putin and Lvova-Belova are wanted by the international criminal court. How many are in the EU and NA? How many Russians fled their own country to Georgia and other places, even though none of their territories were occupied?
@@Dudelsackpfeiferno many fled to Russia as well because majority of the Donbas region are ethnic Russians and they consider themselves Russians while the west of Ukraine is mostly from Romanian or polish ethnicities.
@@asura3967 Being "ethnic" Russian is not the same thing as being "politically" Russian. Many Russian-speaking Ukrainians are disgusted with what Russia has done. And if you're talking about the separatist regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, that's a slightly different topic. Finally, I suggest you look up the meaning of "mostly" because according to the 2001 census, less than 1.5% of Ukraine's population was ethnically Polish or Romanian/Moldovan.
Sure they cant wait to return to waste their life for nothing 😂😅😂😅
I would like if this DW pay us a visit to Munich and record some Videos about the Kids of Ukrainian Deputies and Business Men who drives sports BMW and spending a thousand Euro a night in Club's, It gonna be also Interesting !!!

Let this be a lesson for the rest of us against making our country a pawn and chessboard between great power politics.
A very important lesson
It won't be "your country" if you don't defend it. The only tragic thing here is your logic.
Tragic indeed. But at the end, guys like Zelensky or Kubela will have a safe passage/assylum in the West after hundreds of thousands lives are lost and their country is destroyed.
@@terjehansen0101 Ukraine belonged to the US after the 2014 coup. Zelensky campaigned on peace with Russia and did a 180 after winning. The war was forced onto the Ukrainian people by the CIA. THis is the lesson everyone needs to learn.
@@mgronich948 The only coup that was done was by the russians. The corrupt president was ousted and he was a russian pawn. No doubt about it. Where does he live now ? Russia.

And why did you say "my country" if you're not Ukranian !? I bet you claim to be a "US veteran" a lot too, huh ? And then some tear filled "story".
Stop the war by whatever means, so that these same diaspora Ukrainians can return to rebuild.
Western mega corporations own 50% of Ukrainian farmland. After the war, the land not occupied by Russia will be 90% owned by western mega corps.
Lol, the Ukrainian diaspora will likely serve their prison sentence for not registering in time if they ever return.
Zelensky wanted those diaspora Ukrainian men to defend their homeland.
Easier said than done. Especially when Putin put his reputation on the line with this conflict!

Why Koluba doesn't serve in the frontlines?
According to recent Zelensky interviews, he told sky news that Ukraine lost only 31k out of 1 million soldiers, so I guess Zelensky wants to have at least 2-3 million soldiers on the frontline 😂😂
For those who had already left ukraine before the war started they should be given a chance to self determine if they want to return or not - they are already tax residents of other countries, and for many of them their current location is their home. That ukraine official's claim "the country gives u everything " sounds awfully communitism and totalitarianism- he essentially is saying a person without his country of origin is totally rubbish, and the individual person's talents and efforts are completely ignored.
Ukraine also doesn't exactly provide much to its citizens at present. It's not like Norway or something.
Ukraine is the most corrupt European state lmao even kuleba needed to pause before saying he gave them everything so he doesn't laugh
But you win!!! Why you need the men?? 😁🤣🤣😁
If they dont want to fight for the country is because they dont beleive in the nation and their politics. Its impossible for a country to exist if their people does not want to defend it . Ukrania is about to disapear.
They don't believe because their country has been taken over by the CIA.
This war can be easily end if their clown leader accept the negotiation table back in early 2022. Right now the war is all about money, do you want to join a war to fill the US politician pocket money?
Or they just don't want to die? Like, even if I lived in the perfect country, I would still not be willing to die to protect it. Just because new generations in the West find the concept of putting your life on the line for your country inconceivable, doesn't mean that Putin should just get to roll his way across Europe...

Crazy that a country that claims insanely low losses in this war is going so far as to not just drag men off the streets in ukraine but try and get ukraine men from other countries deported back to ukraine so they can force them in the army. I wonder why a country that is taking almost no losses needs to go to such extreme lengths for more men on the frontline 🤔
