Half a million more soldiers: Ukraine hopes tougher law will fill army ranks | DW News 

This is real fascism at it finest.

So who still believes Ukraine only lost 30,000 troops?

If your country does not allow you to leave, you are not a citizen. You are a prisoner.

Send Boris Johnson to the front😊

Only the poor get drafted

Ukraine urgently needs more peace 😑

Send Victoria Nuland to hand out sandwiches. That should help.

Western media "this is democracy".

Poor Men , Why don't the women also sign up in times of gender equality ?

This war is a meat grinder. Are they sure that 500,000 men is enough?

They lost 31k soldiers, and winning. Why need half million more?

I'd rather live in jail and not die.

Feminism died naturally here

And women still believe they have it harder

Why do they need more men? Zelensky said, only 30.000 died?

According to this analyst “When the Russians conscript convicts, it's considered using cannon fodder, but if Ukraine does the same, it isn't labeled as cannon fodder” HYPOCRISY

What kind of motivated people can you get by forced sign-ups? And what kind of democracy is this?

Zelensky should go and fight in the front. He has been wearing that military T-shirt everyday since the war started.

In the office there are only Azov insignias.

Even if they can get 200,000 more soldiers they need few months of training

The United States can't manufacture troops for Ukraine😂😂😂😂

Very democratic to force your poor citizenry to fight the wars of the rich elite

I am sure the young men know perfectly well what is going on and they are not willing to die for NATO.

Why do they need 500,000 soldiers when they have only lost 31,000? Why are the journalists so quiet?

conscription = slavery

Ukraine is winning western media 😂

“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” - Voltaire once said.

Gestapo of Ukraine

they say they just lost 30,000 plus but urgently need 500,000 new soldiers

Why do they need new soldiers? They just have 31k casaulties right? And they destroyed 500k Russians so why do they need soldiers?

I believe Ukraine had a bigger army by the summer than all the Russian soldiers engaged in Ukraine put together so far. A lack of Ukraine men cannot therefore be the result of Russians using their soldiers as a cannon fodder. Half a million man represents between 1 and 2 % of prewar population at the minimum. To put it in perspective, that's more than Britain lost during the entire WW2. You can't just talk "needs" half a million men. There comes a time when you call it quits. And for us to facilitate some arangement instead of cheering a new batch of men to trenches. At the minimum, would you even care to listen what Putin has to offer? Because neither Minsk 1, Minsk 2 or Istanbul was that bad. Certainly compared to the current going.

Go to war or no right ,we are we supporting here ? Forcing people to fight is a war crime

Ask the obvious dudes - if Ukraine needs 500,000 new soldiers - what happened to the 500,000 if formerly had?

Why only men , where are the women? Why feminist dont protest against mans rules? equal rights - equal fights

This is not fair and at the same time it is discrimination against women why only men ???

There is something very un-European in this ''lets all die, no matter what'' -attitude... This is not the ''never again'' motto i was taught.......Clearly a hidden hand wants this conflict to escalate all the way to open WWIII... I hope cooler heads prevail, peace must be made at all costs; not pursuit of military victory

Ya, maybe stop this war. Why do you want this war?

Think of all the Men that are left scarred and disfigured from this war. What will happen to them? How will they live after? The Politicians don't care especially in Ukraine.

“The Ukrainians are losing this war. They are missing Over 10 million people. I estimate that the losses [of Ukrainian soldiers] should be counted in the millions, not hundreds of thousands. There are no resources in this country, there is no one to fight.” - Rajmund Andrzejczak, a Well-known Polish general

Does anyone believe you can achieve any military goal with people who are desesperatly trying to flee draft or, when attempts failed ,are abducted in the streets ?

Is there a factory that produces soldiers? More money. Lol

Zelinks kept telling lies to his own people that it's all good on the frontline. This is just the result of it and the corruption that prevails in Ukr.

What consequences do they have dreamed up that could be worse than losing your limbs or dying? They’re delusional if they think men will sign up after those threats.

I had to laugh when the guy said that they been waiting if its like this how will it be in the army!! All I can say is "Welcome to the Army" for anyone who has never been in the army! Lol you will soon find out what "Hurry up & Wait means!"

Desperate situations = desperate measures. Ukraine seeks more men to send to the meat grinder.

In the past, military leaders and rulers took part in battles, but today they sit in comfortable armchairs and waste other people's lives.

What happened to human rights for men? How about conscript the women?

That the vast majority of Ukraine's 11 million males aged 18 to 60 on New Year's Day 2022 don't believe that it's worth fighting for informs my opinion of future welfare/aid. To be clear, it is their right to decide that Ukraine isn't worth it, but that will definitely inform my opinion

The desperation of an army that only lost 31k soldiers.

Ukrainian men frightened of shovels and washing machines.

And the Titanic orchestra keeps dreaming of an unlikely victory for Ukraine.

What if some man identify as a woman?

Where are those French Macron will send?

Ukraine needs new soldiers ? What happen to the previous ?😅 As russians are saying ,, USA will fight Russia till the last ukrainian ,, 😅

Tougher recruiter means dragging men out of bidding and threw them into trenches in the front. Does that win wars ???

I don't understand something. Western feminists are constantly complaining about how Afghan women aren't given basic rights and sufficient educational opportunities. Strangely, I don't hear them demanding that Ukrainian women should have equal opportunities to become infantry soldiers and enjoy equal opportunities to get killed in combat. Could it be that feminists only want women to have the benefits of equality, and none of the dangers or unpleasant responsibilities of it?

The problem is soldiers are visiting saint Peter faster than reinforcements can be trained

If you country doesn allow you any rights, it is not your country anymore and you shall not follow the law.

your loosing my support ukraine.

5:03 - He wounds disillusioned all of a sudden.

Russia on the other hand only need more shovels

I thought Ukraine was fighting for democracy and freedom....

And the best part is ukraine government is planning to give training online via zoom app.

I.E. if you're not rich, face punishment for not risking your life for the state.

Russia has all the right to defend itself just like how The US defend itself in Vietnam, Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan

Ukraine urgently needs peace

Why MEN only..? Where are the brave ukrainian feminists that cnn talks about.... are they only suitable for yelling in the tv studios...?

The Blooming Democracy (r)

*They should offer all these men 10 Areas of free land each!*

Anyone here who doesn't believe conscription is fair has never had to live through a war, so take it from someone who grew up in a war zone, slept in a bomb shelter, and recently had to sit by and watch as 1,300 people were slaughtered for the crime of being born, conscription is the opposite of slavery, it is freedom, it is life. That said, in Israel, women are conscripted too.

USA and Ukraine will open a new front in Finland because Finland has 900 000 reservists under US command.

Nobody want to ask what happened to the more than 1mil men that Ukraine Defence Ministry that said they had in Dec 22.

You are sending them to their death. I guess I'd choose the punishment rather than go die in the frontline.

Like it’s just a slaughterhouse at this point !! Ukraine know it can’t WIN!!

“Truth is Treason in an Empire of Lies.” - Rep. Ron Paul

Why aren't they calling in the women? Why are they allowed to leave the country?

Does $6B include soldiers? If not, who will use those weapons?

Get the women to fight, equal opportunities, right?

I don't think that's the idea of freedom they had in mind when they were jumping at Mai'dan.

Loosing battles. War must end

I'm just wondering why this conscription law is all about men only. I thought that in modern times there is gender equality.

And women say they have it hard.

That’s so horrible 😮

Ukraine 5 years later you will not see man in the city just women Because America and Europe are using Ukraine but I think Ukraine women They will go Africa find a strong man

Then 6 months of training crammed into 5 weeks, literally throwing them to the wolves.

Being a friend of US while being next to Russia is fatal , know where you live in

I remember all those experts before the war started they all said Russia will loose where are they now?

Ukraine needs a game changer.

Literally illegally sending civilians to the war front. Does your heart beat as a leader

Only men? So much for gender equity.

Wow, these guys really don't know whats happening.

Do you think with such moral , a soldier can fight , they will just die in front

They still believe Russia with superior airpower, artillery and tanks is losing more men becoz they just throw it away. 7:1 fieepower ratio at the front is just a crazy way to fight a war.

That is why we want to see humanity come to their senses and stop the killing 😢

There is the special app which takes a few minutes to get registred

"Sign up or face the consequences" what can be worse than going to the frontlines without proper training?

Not everyone can fight. You need teachers, doctors, people who work in factories. You can not force someone who is not a fighter to go on the battlefield it is not logical. Everyone has a different role to play in a society.

You can't force citizens to fight, take the leaders to the frontlines instead. They are the reason this war is happening for their selfish greed.

Even in a war, children need a mother at home. Peace is preferable, instead of record income for war machines.

According to zelensky, ukraine has only lost 31k soldiers. Then, why 500k?
