Men who are hiding from the war tell The Daily Beast they do not trust the military system and fear they’ll be sent to the frontline without proper training.

    Has there been much in Ukraine in way of anti-war protests? I’ve heard there have been some but it doesn’t seem like there’s an organized anti-war or even anti-conscription movement, although that could be due to the western media bubble

        Right, but where are the women in this? Ukraine is still doing male-only conscription (for now)

      I get the impression most of the people who are anti-conscription have fled the country.

        Well the conscripts maybe, but there should still be a base of anti-conscription women within the country (widows, spouses, etc)
