Summary
Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered 160,000 more Russians aged 18–30 be drafted from April 1 to July 15, amid U.S.-brokered ceasefire talks.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned the Kremlin is preparing a major offensive in Sumy, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhzhia, accusing Russia of stalling negotiations to gain territorial leverage.
Over 100,000 Russian soldiers are confirmed dead. Ukraine reported 46,000 dead and 380,000 wounded.
Ukrainians are also forcing their working class to go fight for their ruling class.

Videos are uploaded almost daily to Kaotic of Ukrainians being hauled off to die in a war.
Pretty sure they’re not allowed to leave the country, too.
Maybe this is why Ukraine was never allowed in NATO. They are behaving very similarly to Russia.
Edit: Was just catching up and here’s a video of Ukrainians trying to leave their country and getting stopped by a soldier.

The propaganda is real on both sides, guys. Try to understand that most of the information you see is being fed through an “English filter” first.
Edit: The people replying to my comment wouldn’t be saying the same things about Russian conscription. It just goes to show how strong bias and delusion is on both sides. They’re saying I’m spreading propaganda and calling me a troll, which is an effort to censor me thus further proving my point about an English filter.
And the propaganda you’re trying to feed is straight from Russia with love through a “Russian filter”.
Ignoring the fact you’re a troll: one of these countries was invaded, and is taking every measure possible to secure their continued existence. One of these countries invaded a sovereign nation, and is wasting citizen lives for no reason beyond an insane, expansionist dictator’s whims.
These are not the same, no matter how many times you try to spew the false equivalency.
Err… these are videos taken by Ukrainians. I guess they’re trying to spread propaganda by showing us the truth? That’s how bad it’s gotten on our side, unfortunately.
Are you seriously trying to justify sending unwilling people to their deaths on the grounds that they were invaded? What if the people being forced into battle think they can’t win? Should they still be forced to fight and blocked from leaving? That’s pretty fucked up, man.
I expect you to say something like “you know what’s fucked up? getting your country invaded because of one madman” blah blah blah. Like, come on guys. This really just puts into perspective how rational and intelligent the average internet user is these days.
None of you care about reason. Only looking good in front of your peers.
Hysteria is real.
Propaganda fuck off.
