      Good, they’ll weigh him down nicely enough when his countrymen hang him

        I’d be surprised if your average Joe Ukrainian would want to lynch him. I could easily see him being lynched by some of the heavily armed Banderites who perceive his working towards peace as a stab in the back of the Ukrainian nation though.

          Turning a country into a prison that people desperately try to escape by crossing the border through rivers/mountains (and often die trying), or by going to the “aggressor” controlled territories (remind me please, how many Poles or even better Jews were escaping their countries and fleeing to Germany during WW2 because it was safer there for them?) and people getting kidnapped, beaten, held in basemenets for days, tortured and even killed by the brave “recruitment officers” of Zelensky’s regime seems like good enough reason for me.

            Especially the last part sounds a lot like propaganda. Do you have any sources on this? Preferably not from media that has ties to Russia.

              So, the war has been going on for three fucking years already, and you still don’t know what’s actually going on there, all while supporting the regime? Well, I am not surprises even a little bit.

              There are shitton of articles written by western media about the kidnappings, but I am sure they are all sponsored by Russia, right?

              Here is a library of a fraction of videos about that (obviously faked and sponsored by Russia, because CNN told me Zelensky is good, this cannot be happening): https://uadraftmuseum.ch/incidents

                Please. I did not pick any sides here with my question. I am not the person your argued with earlier.

                I sure do understand that in a war people are drawn into service against their will, it always has been like that. War sucks, that is out of the question and it surely is not the fault of the nation that is under attack.

                Thanks for your sources. Without sources, anyone can go around and say anything. Especially in this day and age.

                  it always has been like that.

                  People were always hunted down on the streets and packed into vans by masked people (there is an entire new word for that btw, “busification”) with the west cheering the man who does it as a great democratic leader? Huh.

                  it surely is not the fault of the nation that is under attack.

                  But it is surely the fault of the people being kidnapped, beaten, tortured and killed, right? I mean, you wouldn’t support this happening to innocent people who never wronged you?

                    I didn’t say I support it. But this is war. Who is at fault? The attacking nation. Russia. This is the enemy. They are at fault. It does not excuse the cruelties that are happening, but I sure think that it would be worse if the Russian army advances and murders and tortures civilians in the process like they have done already.

                    Sure, Zelensky might not be perfect, but I don’t think most presidents would do a better job.

                    To be clear: I hate that this is happening, I hate everything about it. I don’t have a solution and I don’t pretend that I know how to do it better.
