The conflict in Ukraine continues as reports emerge of aggressive tactics by the Ukrainian military to replenish their ranks. Recruiters are reportedly resorting to intimidation, physical force, and even pulling men off the streets to fill the ranks. There are also claims that the military is drafting individuals including the mentally disabled and elderly taxi drivers. Additionally, Ukrainian soldiers are allegedly refuting President Zelensky's claims of progress in Dnipro, describing scenes reminiscent of WW1 with bodies rotting in the mud for months and labeling the situation a 'suicide mission.' Russian volunteers are also reported to be joining Ukrainian ranks, while a poll indicates a growing number of Ukrainians willing to cede territory to Russia. The conflict appears to be at a stalemate, with no hope for victory and mounting deaths on the battlefield.

Just learned recently that Ukraine has been drafting thousands of soldiers to send to the front. This is WW1 all over again but on a smaller scale. Trenches, mines, artillery, and young men being rounded up and sent in to die. No progress in over a year & no hope for victory.
