Everyone who wanted to volunteer for war came a long time ago - it's too hard now to tempt people with money. Now we're getting those who didn't manage to escape the draft. You'll laugh at this, but some of our marines can't even swim.

Harrowing stuff, I can't even imagine being put into a situation like this against your will.

I'm starting to doubt if Zelensky is gonna last another year. He's seems to be getting more and more criticism, from higher up the chain of command too. I guess that's unavoidable as the war goes on, but his response is always to claim it isn't true and keep begging nato for bigger guns, which I can't imagine is great at placating unrest.
