  • Fight or Flight by RTS Radio Télévision Suisse
    Ever since war broke out in Ukraine, men have been mobilised to fight for their country. Many Ukrainian women have had to leave alone with their children, and the men who have escaped are forced to live with guilt.

    Men with three or more young children are permitted to leave Ukraine. Oleg, who was allowed to leave because of this exception, feels constantly guilty. ‘My conscience is nagging me every day because I left my country. I think I should go back, but my family keeps me here’, he says. Natacha’s husband is back in Kyiv while she was able to flee to Switzerland; ‘it isn’t fair to make families suffer, to make children live without their parent’, she says. Some men have already returned to help the fight; Lena’s husband was allowed to leave with her, but decided to return to Ukraine. ‘I wanted us to stay together, but I respect his decision and I accept it’, she says.

    40-60 is too old to fight. I'm 39 and just diagnosed with severe iron deficiency anemia... no way could I fight.

      True. My father is 57, and while he’s a strong man that’s been through a lot, I don’t know how he would do as a soldier
      The stress alone would get him.

    i feel, both, that killing people is awful, and that those who fight and die or are injured are always left in poverty and forgotten after the war, those who choose to bear the cross and take the pain are always despised by those who didn't and just take the benefits they suffered for afterwards, so why bother for all those people who will forget your sacrifice and despise your disability or mental illness if you do survive? Evidence: what happened in UK after Napoleonic war, first Crimean war, WW1 & WW2, post-colonial wars (Korea etc).....

    I view the whole Ukrainian situation very critically.
    Someone like *Selensky, who outlawed 11 political parties and independent media* just recently, is not a good role model for a democratic leader.

      And you think this never happens when a nation is at war?
      Every allied power in WW2 took anti democratic actions within its borders.
      The US rounded up its Japanese citizens into internment camps. They lost basic rights, were watched 24/7, denied the right to work or travel. Some were interrogated, suspected of being spies and removed from their families.
      The British banned Socialist workers unions in vital industry, all opposition supporters from protesting, imprisoned conscientious objectors and anyone speaking up for fascism and formed a one party coalition government.
      Oswald Mosley a British MP and right wing supporter of European fascism was imprisoned for his views on Mussolini and Hitler's politics.
      He moved to France after WW2 because his reputation as a British politician was destroyed by Churchill and the press.
      Churchill considered rounding up German citizens living in the UK and relocating them to the isle of Man as a prison camp colony to remove the threat of espionage.
      British newspapers and radio broadcasts were hugely censored. Local council elections were cancelled.
      Night time Curfews placed on all citizens.
      Canada's German population became outcasts, forced to form remote self sufficient communities.
      Churchill's actions meant he lost the election immediately after WW2.
      He was deemed a good war Leader but not trustworthy enough to lead a peacetime democratic nation.
      He fully understood the publics decision at the polls but knew his authoritarian approach was necessary to galvanise a nation to win the war.
      The alternative;
      mass protests, espionage, industrial strikes, civil unrest and political point scoring would have possibly lost the allies the war.
      These anti democratic measures paled in comparison to Stalins communist patriot policies.
      He sacked and murdered more of his own high level military staff than Hitlers forces ever managed to..

      @@ljt3084 That's because all the so called leaders of their respective countries even though some aren't even from the country they claim to be from but that's another story. But these creatures are globalists, Zionists, from several secret societies. So even though they seem to oppose one another in the surface. Deep down they are always under one consensus.

    Stop the propaganda. Live cams show that this is not the war you make it out to be. It is very regional. Life is normal in Kiev. While all war sucks and I disagree with any country invading another the eastern part of Ukraine has been at war since 2014. When I was there for 2 months back in 2008 everyone spoke Russian and used Russian rubles. Every thing east of the river is Russian.... simple,

      They never said Kiev is in crisis. Early on in the war, it was under attack. Obviously not like Severodontesk or anything like that, but people didn’t know if it would become like that. Either way, it is impossible to exaggerate how bad the situation is in many Ukrainian villages, towns and cities. .
