Staying abroad “does not relieve a citizen of his or her duties to the homeland,” Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba warns.
Well that's awful.
I feel very torn over this. On one hand, I completely understand the desire not to die in a fucking war. I certainly wouldn't want to either.
On the other, who if not the ukrainians can defend their homeland? The west can't even actively interfere without risking potential global repercussions neither side wants 💣🍄. I also think it is unfair that the men who could afford to leave get a pass, while the rest has to risk their lives.
They lose. They were always going to lose because Russia outnumbers them 10 to 1. Only [VERY SMART PEOPLE] on these forums think otherwise because they [CAN] think for themselves.
The fact so many people thought Ukraine could retake Crimea is laughable. Where are all those people now? Why aren't they admitting they were wrong before and they could be wrong again?
Just throw shit at a wall and see what sticks, I guess.

Having your country torn in half over a foreign invasion is awful.
That’s worse…
slava ukraini?
“A man of conscription age went abroad, showed his state that he does not care about its survival, and then comes and wants to receive services from this state. It does not work this way. Our country is at war,” Kuleba said.
I think this sums it up well.
As a counterpoint, if you've emigrated and sought asylum in a foreign country is it fair to be denied access to criminal records and other bureauatic documents necessary to continue your life? One of my coworkers is Ukrainian and to pursue immigration they've had to go back and forth getting documentation that Canada requires for both residency and a work permit - to my knowledge they're fine since they're so far along in the process but a new asylum seeker may find themselves unable to provide this documentation.
War is messy business and not wanting to put your life on the line is understandable - after all nobody in this comment section is barred from volunteering to fight, or at least provide logistical support, in Ukraine if they're so motivated. Most of us are happy to financially support the war but wouldn't want to risk our lives.

I have no desire to fight for Ukraine but I don't mind supplying the weapons.
The issue is Ukraine needs manpower, and if you are an unreliable citizens, then what should be the consequences?
Slava Ukraini!
