A video on Telegram shows wives and mothers of forcibly conscripted Ukrainian men protesting in front of a military enlistment office in Transcarpathia. The English text is a little confusing but it seems like the women were demanding to know the whereabouts of their loved ones, were protesting that they were not receiving proper training and equipment and were demanding their release. When the Ukrainian authorities refused to engage with the women, they started breaking windows and attacking the building.
NATO propaganda doesn't talk about it but by now lots of Ukrainians must be sick and tired of this war, and sick and tired of seeing their loved ones getting fed into a meat grinder for no good reason.
It synchs up in a bad way with all the videos from Russian telegram claiming that the Ukrainians are just leaving their dead in the field

Stop watching that stuff. All you'll get for your troubles is PTSD.
For real, I went on a shock/death video binge a few months ago and in the moment it felt exciting and interesting and i thought "haha yeah im so hardcore this shit doesnt affect me"
but it did, especially one combat footage video, it wasn't bad enough that it kept me up at night but i couldn't get it out of my head for weeks. And it wasn't even a particularly gruesome one, it was "just" a soldier getting shot in the head during combat, it wasn't some kind of atrocity or gore, but it just stuck with me.
20 years ago, some kid in my highschool class had a low-res decapitation video without sound on his laptop. I saw it once and I still remember every single frame of that shit.

I mean, if you're retreating and like... A rocket strike wipes out a unit, are you supposed to try to find the nearest forces to recover the bodies? How are you even going to find out; their radios might have just been damaged
Exactly. People pretend like the heroic, valiant Ukrainians are fighting for their country because of glorious national pride or some shit, as if a mother with 3 kids hiding in the Azovstal bunker in Mariupol chose to be there.
Ukrainian men are getting forcibly conscripted and aren't allowed to leave the country. Nationalist militants hide behind civilians so Russia can't just bomb them out of existence. Zelenskyy keeps the war going because he thinks he will finally get to join the cool kids table.
Ukrainians fight because they will get arrested or likely worse if they don't, they have exactly 0 say in the matter.
I, a liberal, see not a single contradiction.
