If you can't understand how ghoulish it is for the western backed regime in Ukraine to force people into fighting against their will, what else is there to say to you.
Because they'd be so much better if their country gets occupied and they're forced to fight in putins next war of aggression to try and conjure yet more people to keep in poverty and ignorance with the rest of the Russian empire.
You people with your fantasy about the evil west are laughable when the alternative is literally Russia - if the west did one thing Russia does then you'd be using that in every anti western screed you rattle off.
People who still can't understand that Russia won the war are not capable of rational thought, and are not worth trying to have a discussion with.
Ah 'we won so why are they still fighting?' Yes that's not how reality works.
What you mean is 'Why won't Europe and the US just let the psychopath dictator invade anyone he wants and lower the standard of living for yet more of the world?' But the answer to that is too obvious so you know you'd look silly saying it.
The fact that the fighting is still going on doesn't change the fact that the ultimate outcome of the war is now obvious to anybody with a functioning brain. Eventually, even the most dim witted westerners will have to start grappling with reality.
OK my non-western friend, I'm sure your very unbiased news has lead you to a very wise conclusion that is not at all based on cope and seeth. I do hope you'll excuse me for not taking it seriously.
I never expected to have a rational discussion with you in the first place.
What is with the young man who had to defend the motherland in the great patriotic war?
Majority of Ukrainians fought with the Red Army against the fascists during the Great Patriotic War. People of USSR understood that fascists represented an existential threat to them, and that's why they fought.
Noooooo, you don't understand, wholesome big chungus Ukraine is fighting off those barbaric orcs. We have to send all of the Ukrainian men onto the meat grinder or else~~civilization~~ the west will fall!
