So they don’t want to die in a pointless war. Shocking.
I mean, out of all the wars in the last 20 years, this one would probably be the LEAST pointless. Of course, dying in a war is still dying, regardless of how noble the cause...
@@GTA5Player1this is said about every new war lol. Remember when Saddam was about to nuke the world and in bed with Al Qaeda. 20 years later there would be another war that your chumps will swallow up
@@GTA5Player1Oh, dying for BlackRock and the US MIC is pointless? 🤣🤣🤣

So obviously they have a zero point to return NOW.
To die for greedy politicians?

Didn’t Zelenskyy say publicly that Ukraine had only lost 35k troops?
I thought Ukraine already won the war! Is the war still going on? Are we living in the dark?
true, why need more soldiers. only 35K dead
What other U numbers are lies?
@@nuke_GodjiraYou're probably right, but it's not a laughing matter
Ha ha true.
But only 30K were killed, why telling Ukraine men abroad to return?
Because 30k is pure fiction. The place is a meat grinder to test western weapons.
You are absolutely right..
Im all for Ukraine and him saying 30k is just foolish
so what do you suggest? let them stay outside of ukraine? and let those inside ukraine to fight? when war is over they will be back as if nothing had happened. everyone as much had to do their share to defend the country. that is the reason why you are a citizen of a country. not citizens only during good times.

They are free to leave a country that it’s devastated. Nobody needs to be held against their will.

Why should they return when they have lost only 31000?😂😂😂😂😂 or someone is not telling the truth?

I bet zelensky won't sign his wife up for the draft.
She's too busy buying dresses in London
I’ll bet you’re right. But here’s another question:
If Putin had a wife, he would? 😆
We need gender equality in Ukraine.
Women have rights? Women can hold a weapon? What's up here? Get the men there but women need too as well...they're "equal" by the way remember that
Women are less likely to be fit to serve on the front lines. You could evaluate all of them and find out who are and those who aren't could work in munitions, agriculture etc. The problem is not just physical strength with women, they tend to get shellshocked a lot easier than men do and aren't mentally set up for long wars. When the Natzis were invading Russia it was right to use women who were able, but I don't think Russia taking over a part of Ukraine is worth it frankly. We don't care in the west, and I don't get the feeling that most Ukrainians are willing to die just so they have a different dictator.
Kuleba, if the country gave them everything, why are they abroad?

No one is going back home, dude. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Most of those men who left after February 2022, had paid a bribe to be released. The average amount of a bribe was approximately 10,000 US dollars. For Ukrainians, this is huge money
So, they shouldn't have to pay a bribe. If you're a neutral person in Ukraine who doesn't really care about Ukraine or Russia you should be allowed to leave to live your life how you wish. it's funny how Ukraine is supposed to be fighting for freedom and democracy but is becoming more autocratic by the day.
First we start from the removal of rights and languages from ethnic minorities in Ukraine. Then we have the banning of news channels, radio, political parties. Then we have the banning of languages even in media, newspapers, cinemas etc. Now we are at a stage where theres strict mobilisation, no demobilisation times for soldiers and they're trying to remove the choices of Ukrainians to leave the country or to stay but not fight. Zelensky also cancelled an election because it would reveal the amount of people who oppose him... even if it was say 20-30% who voted for another leader in the election it would be a big chunk of Ukrainian people that would show displeasure of his leadership.
For Americans that’s huge money
it was 1,000 US dollars
that’s not true . most of them were not in Ukraine when war started. many people flee from occupied territories because russians let them .
@@kacperzimowski4626 No, at least 2.5 - but only if you know the right people. For the outsiders the bribe started from 5k

@@Dudelsackpfeifer There are over a million in Russia.
@@mgronich948 Yes some of which are kidnapped children, a crime for which Putin and Lvova-Belova are wanted by the international criminal court. How many are in the EU and NA? How many Russians fled their own country to Georgia and other places, even though none of their territories were occupied?
@@Dudelsackpfeiferno many fled to Russia as well because majority of the Donbas region are ethnic Russians and they consider themselves Russians while the west of Ukraine is mostly from Romanian or polish ethnicities.
@@asura3967 Being "ethnic" Russian is not the same thing as being "politically" Russian. Many Russian-speaking Ukrainians are disgusted with what Russia has done. And if you're talking about the separatist regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, that's a slightly different topic. Finally, I suggest you look up the meaning of "mostly" because according to the 2001 census, less than 1.5% of Ukraine's population was ethnically Polish or Romanian/Moldovan.

@@terjehansen0101 Ukraine belonged to the US after the 2014 coup. Zelensky campaigned on peace with Russia and did a 180 after winning. The war was forced onto the Ukrainian people by the CIA. THis is the lesson everyone needs to learn.

Stop the war by whatever means, so that these same diaspora Ukrainians can return to rebuild.
Western mega corporations own 50% of Ukrainian farmland. After the war, the land not occupied by Russia will be 90% owned by western mega corps.
Lol, the Ukrainian diaspora will likely serve their prison sentence for not registering in time if they ever return.

I would like if this DW pay us a visit to Munich and record some Videos about the Kids of Ukrainian Deputies and Business Men who drives sports BMW and spending a thousand Euro a night in Club's, It gonna be also Interesting !!!
If they dont want to fight for the country is because they dont beleive in the nation and their politics. Its impossible for a country to exist if their people does not want to defend it . Ukrania is about to disapear.
They don't believe because their country has been taken over by the CIA.
This war can be easily end if their clown leader accept the negotiation table back in early 2022. Right now the war is all about money, do you want to join a war to fill the US politician pocket money?
Or they just don't want to die? Like, even if I lived in the perfect country, I would still not be willing to die to protect it. Just because new generations in the West find the concept of putting your life on the line for your country inconceivable, doesn't mean that Putin should just get to roll his way across Europe...
Sure they cant wait to return to waste their life for nothing 😂😅😂😅
Why Koluba doesn't serve in the frontlines?
The fact is most Germans are pleased to hear this. All I hear from German colleagues in hospitals and the healthcare industries is that 30,000 Nurses are needed but Ukrainians don't want the jobs because they have comfortable lives on State funds.🤷♀

I welcome them and will help them in any way I can do they are able to persue a life of peace and prosperity in my country. What a tragedy:(
Yup. They will suck your country dry and move on to the next when you will need their help. If they’re veterans going there to recover that’s a different story.

I know a few Ukranians in their early 20s, living in the EU. No way they would ever return!
where is gender equality now and feminisum
For those who had already left ukraine before the war started they should be given a chance to self determine if they want to return or not - they are already tax residents of other countries, and for many of them their current location is their home. That ukraine official's claim "the country gives u everything " sounds awfully communitism and totalitarianism- he essentially is saying a person without his country of origin is totally rubbish, and the individual person's talents and efforts are completely ignored.
Ukraine also doesn't exactly provide much to its citizens at present. It's not like Norway or something.
Ukraine is the most corrupt European state lmao even kuleba needed to pause before saying he gave them everything so he doesn't laugh
These men are dead on arrival.
As stated, Ukrainian Pride is only a myth. The Ukrainian Soldiers who wanted to fight are buried. Yet those who fled Ukraine doesn’t give a damn about that poor corrupt destroyed country.
This should be a direct sign that Ukraine needs to negotiate with Russia and salvage what’s left of Ukraine.
