        I might not be 100% correct but Germany didn’t use conscripts that early at war, so those are probably professional soldiers?

        A number of Ukrainians I or my acquaintances have contacts with, didn’t want or believe there’s going to be a war and so did a lot of people around them, though obviously being bombed doesn’t make one particularly favorable of the side doing the bombing. This is different from Nazi Germany where Wehrmacht troops have been brainwashed to see Soviet and generally Slavic people like shit to extreme and were on the fucking settler conquest.

        I’m not gonna cry over banderlog scum, but a lot of people there have voted for Zelenskyy over Poroshenko because he promised a ceasefire in Donbass and wasn’t generally a fucking Ukronationalist (and was “tough on corruption”). He then took a classic huge dump on those who elected him because he has west-oriented capital to serve.

          Germany started conscription in 1935, they conscripted averagely 300000 men each year up to war and more in the war. Hard to tell exact numbers of conscripts in 1941 but i imagine they did fought since Germany mobilised everything they could for Barbarossa.

          The same is about Ukraine, we don’t really know how many conscripts exactly there are and where they are.

          I know quite many Ukrainians in Poland, and i noticed in 2 big and one medium company from where i have info from, non went back to fight. Can’t blame them at all.

          This is different from Nazi Germany where Wehrmacht troops have been brainwashed to see Soviet and generally Slavic people like shit to extreme and were on the fucking settler conquest.

          This is exact same message banderites are putting about Russians and especially people from Donbass. Odessa massacre did happened for reason.

          Fair enough

          My point was rather that i was not expecting this kind of dead horse question here.

            I mean, wikipedia lists contract fighters at about ~14k out of ~250k, so unless it’s a known group (like Azov; I’d expect mentions up the ass if it was somebody significant) we can estimate the chance of a combatant being a conscript as 94% or higher.

            Yeah, and a decent number of people don’t buy it. Your companies has some of them. But also, it’s now falling on a fertile ground after actually being attacked. Before the “special operation” that sentiment didn’t ring as true. I’m expecting an increased speed of Nazification in Ukraine if there’s no revolution.

            My point was rather that i was not expecting this kind of dead horse question here.

            There’s a disgusting amount of jerking off to Team Z war porn as if it’s some kind of fucking sports.

              That number was new recruits, cited for 2017 alone, and not even entirety of 2017: “Artemenko also said that since the beginning of 2017, more than 14,000 people have signed a contract with the Armed Forces. More than a thousand of them are officers. 1.3 thousand - conscripts who decided to continue their service under contract.” - this was 30 may 2017, so not even half year.

              Also the western Ukraine, the seat of banderism apparently massively dogde drafting. Not surprised lol.

              But also, it’s now falling on a fertile ground after actually being attacked.

              It undoubtedly is. It also remind me of WW2, and what exactly happened to that fertile ground after WW2. It only underline the necessity of denazification, left alone it already blossomed with weeds of mass urder in Donbass for basically no reason whatsoever.

              I’m expecting an increased speed of Nazification in Ukraine if there’s no revolution.

              I guess that depends. If Russia just withdraws and the maidan gang is not sweeped, it will undoubtedly happen. Nobody ever said the situation is not shitty and there aren’t only bad things in the future. At least the worst is already avoided though.

              There’s a disgusting amount of jerking off to Team Z war porn as if it’s some kind of fucking sports.

              By disgusting amount you mean any amount more than zero? As opposed to thoughts and prayers for the banderites?
