Russia. They conscripted. They also ran out of them so had to empty prisons and use them. And when that wasn’t enough, conscripted again. And also enlist from overseas, offering lavish pay to Africans and Pakistanis et al for engineering and analytics jobs in the army but were actually sent to the front lines (so they’d die and not have to continue paying them).
A marked difference from conscription in defence of the homeland wouldn’t you say?
Don’t get discouraged, few lemmy instances are just ripe with pro-Russian scum. It’s important to counter their pro-Russian propaganda with pro-Ukraine.
(It is also true that Ukraine detains young men who are doding the draft)
