    I think something to consider here is anyone who fled to the West would live under the threat of being returned if they went against what their receiving country wants.

      I think there were pushes to round up would-be conscripts and deport them back to Ukraine to fight die. I remember reading about it either being implemented or discussed a while back.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_conscription_crisis

      NATOpedia says that ~3.7m conscription aged men are either dead, fled, or in hiding.

      Several social media groups containing tens of thousands of members were created to alert men to the movements of mobilization officers so they could evade confrontation.

      Yeah, looks like there is organized resistance. We're just not hearing about it much.
