This is probably one of the worst aspects of this conflict. Men on both sides are being forced to participate in this conflict. I am curious what Ukraine would look like right now if they let average men leave. Would it be completely hollowed out? Or would the resistance be largely the same? I have a feeling towards the former. Despite the brave front one might project to a foreign reporter or even their neighbors and compatriots, I don't think so many men are excited at the prospect of forcibly becoming soldiers. Especially given many are being forcibly separated from their families, it's very tragic situation.

The same is true of many Russians. A lot of young conscripts have been deployed. If it were not for this, I doubt either of these states could mount the military effort that they currently have.
