    I’m all for Ukraine winning the war defending their borders but I totally get it. You have only one life, but there are over 190 countries. Not everyone is so attached to a specific country, I know I’m not. Even if you’re winning, there are still so many humans dying. People are spending life savings for bogus medical treatment to avoid dying prematurely, why would we not expect people spending life savings to avoid dying prematurely in a war?

      Also the war is brutal and a lot of the casualties from Ukraine are generally self censored. Conscripts are mostly put in with territorial defense forces which get the shitty gear and little training and they are mainly used to hold the front line and generally don’t have many options if they Russians decide to attack their fortifications.
