      No they’re also conscripted, but we’re discussing Ukraine which is checks notes a different country, specifically a country which is losing people at an alarming rate.

          If a country is throwing thousands of people to their death against their own will in a futile attempt to win a lost war, then I think it’s better those people get to go home and live, rather than die, since the end result is the same.

          Had the situation been reversed then I would have called for Russia to accept a peace deal as well.

          People dying for no reason is bad actually.
