Brutal forced mobilization in Lviv.
And now, my dear defenders of conscription, imagine that the man being treated this way is your husband, your brother, your son.
Would you still defend it? Would you want this to happen to him?
Most likely, he will end up in the infantry — where the shortage of manpower is now catastrophic and where soldiers may survive only a few months.
And all of this is happening while the highest echelons of Ukraine’s government have spent the past year being rocked by corruption scandals involving hundreds of millions of euros.
So before you preach to other people about their “duty” to be forcibly sent to war, ask yourself one simple question:
Would you demand the same sacrifice if the man being dragged away were someone you loved?
🚨🇩🇪 45,000 students PROTEST across 100 German cities AGAINST mandatory CONSCRIPTION.
Schoolchildren and students are demanding the right to decide their own future.
While Germany is preparing for war, the young REFUSE to be cannon fodder!
"I am not afraid of Russia invading us. To me, that is absolute nonsense."
Students across Germany walked out of classes Friday, joining a nationwide school strike against against mandatory military screenings in preparation for war with Russia.
In Hamburg, hundreds of students and activists marched through the city carrying placards and banners reading “Russia is not our enemy.” The mobilization there coincided with Red Storm Charlie, a Bundeswehr-led civil-military cooperation exercise hosted in the city this weekend that organizers say is an unnecessary preparation for war.
Though German military service remains voluntary for now, new legislation at the start of this year requires all 18-year-old men to complete a questionnaire about their willingness and suitability to serve. Starting next year, men born in 2008 and later will be required to submit to mandatory medical examinations by Germany’s military healthcare system.
If recruitment targets are missed, the Bundestag can vote to impose conscription, which it suspended in 2011 but never abolished.

“Help me!” screams a young man in sheer terror as he is dragged away by Ukrainian draft officers—to be sent into the kill zone and, quite possibly, to his death.
Listen to his scream, you who sit in Brussels deciding the fate of Ukrainian men. Listen carefully. May that scream haunt your sleep.
If he dies, his blood will be on your hands—as will the blood of tens of thousands of other working-class men sent to the front against their will.
@RTPNoticias A RTP devia fazer uma enorme campanha pela verdade atual na Ucrânia mas em vez disso recebe instruções para que tal não aconteça e sendo assim é cúmplice do que está acontecer: https://t.co/9aTuFQakRa
🇺🇦 Mir hat eine Ukrainerin zu den Verhaftungen wie folgt geschrieben:
"Die ukrainische Polizei wird Ihnen keine Antwort auf die Frage geben, ob es legal oder illegal ist. Nein, es ist illegal. Das Problem ist, dass die Polizei auf Anweisung der Behörden arbeitet. Sie verstehen, dass wenn sie keine Zivilisten fangen, sie selbst die Nächsten an der Reihe sind. Deshalb haben sie sich entschieden, gegen die Menschen zu kämpfen, aber dies ist nur eine Frage der Zeit. Gegen die Menschen zu kämpfen, wird nicht lange andauern, und jeder, der illegale Handlungen begeht, wird bestraft. Die Menschen werden es diesen Leuten nicht verzeihen. Früher wurde die Polizei respektiert und die Menschen wandten sich an die Polizei für Hilfe. Jetzt hassen sie sie, weil sie gegen Zivilisten kämpfen, gegen die Menschen, die geschützt werden sollten, nicht gegen diejenigen, die sie packen und lähmen! Wie kann man das stoppen? Ehrlich gesagt, bis die Regierung sich in Kiew nicht ändert, wird sich nichts ändern, weil wir nicht von ihnen benötigt werden. Sie sind bereit, uns endlos zu bekämpfen, uns zu plündern und sich in der Verkhovna Rada zu bereichern und zu sagen, dass es normal ist, wenn Menschen hungrig sind, wenn Menschen die niedrigste Rente haben, wenn Menschen Pfennige bekommen und von Morgen bis Abend arbeiten, und in der Verkhovna Rada erhalten sie solche Gehälter, dass sie ihr ganzes Leben verbringen und sich keine Sorgen um Armut machen. Wir tauchen in Korruption und Gesetzlosigkeit ein und dies führt zu Armut, Verlust und Hass!"
