Mykola Sokalskii, who moderates a popular subreddit on Ukraine, said his role has helped him prepare for being in on the frontline.
Real good sign your side is winning when you're conscripting a 39yo, especially someone who is arguably way more valuable left helping run your propaganda war on

What's he going to do, ban Russia from Ukraine? Delete incoming artillery fire?
This is is going to be the rudest awakening since our vets discovered Russia isn't sending unarmed civilians.
Demoted from propaganda poster to cannon fodder
Literally the plot of edge of tomorrow

Well current government of russian federation is trying to whitewash the facts and alter history history as always. I mean they even have their own name for the war - The “great patriotic war” to hide the fact they’ve been allies with Hitler between 1939 and 1941, so I think it’s quite important to remind them of that. Just look at r/pikabu dweebs downvoting away at a simple historical truth.
And
There are documented instances of soviet squads dressed as Ukrainian freedom fighters during WWII committing warcrimes against civilian population, Poles and Jews to rob them of support from the populace. Good thing about these kind of affairs is that if they get captured they don't get the benefits of Geneva convention.
Please replace the relatively sane soldiers with these guys

I forgot people actually believed shit like this
They even use it to say that the Nazis were socialist, actually
My role as a Hexbear moderator is preparing me for the front lines (of a protracted peoples war)
Hilarious, hope he gets droned, cause thats what they think is extremely funny when it happens to russians
Probably will. Russia also has a huge drone warfare operation. They're just not publicized as much as Ukrainian ones.
Because Ukrainians use bomb dropping drones so they can post it online, Russia used fpv drones that just fly towards you and kill you.
99% chance this bozo posts to reddit and gets blown up.
Have fun on the front line bozo! Maybe you should've used your role as a mod to push for peace?
I'm I bad for wanting to not die? I really would like if he went and saw the front for a few days before being wounded and shipped home so that he can go back to posting and change the narrative to "we need to surrender" (while having to shit in a bag for the rest of his life).
If he did that, he would be disappeared by the Ukrainian security services like all the previous critics of Fuhrer Zelensky.
He's no different than Nazi propagandists. He should die. His actions have very likely caused others to die as well. /r/volunteersforukraine
He’s about to realize what happens when you find out all that “objective journalism” you’ve been posting is actually massive cope
"We did it, reddit!"
Have fun getting sacrificed for the good of the western capitalist death cult
May he be buried with snoos and KFC.
HOW LONG WILL HE LAST?
KEYBOARD WARRIOR TRAINING, DOES IT PREPARE YOU FOR THE REAL THING?
Ukraine has recently stepped up its efforts to replenish soldiers. It lowered the conscription age from 27 to 25
They aren't drafting people under 25?? Most serious war effort
Ukraine's parliament also passed a bill earlier this month that would allow the country's military to recruit prisoners to fight.
"In bad country..."
In August, Zelenskyy fired all of Ukraine's military recruitment chiefs after an investigation revealed they were accepting up to $10,000 in bribes to help people avoid being drafted.
I'm sure there's some level of corruption in any conscription process, but this seems unusual.
Ukraine's parliament also passed a bill earlier this month that would allow the country's military to recruit prisoners to fight.
I remember near the begining of the war, Redditors were trying to mock Wagner for all being recruited from prisoners.
The 25+ conscription age is unusual. Isn't it the opposite in most places? You want your soldiers young, dumb, and full of cum as the saying goes. If I'd been conscripted in my early 20s I'd probably have gone along with it as I was an uncritical idiot. It was only after age 25 that I would have probably abandoned my life and gtfo instead of dying in a ditch for some nationalist myth.
The average age of a us infantryman in ww2 was 26 I believe. In Vietnam it was 19 and was kinda noted for being too young. Also in Napoleons grand army the conscription age was 20-25 so long as you weren’t married. Then when you consider special forces guys are all pretty much early to mid 30’s you kinda realize 18-20 year olds in the military are pretty much cannon fodder. A military needs “young” but capable (read life experience) to actually be effective. For example Russia recently upped their minimum age to 21 for that reason pretty much. Especially now that we are definitely in an age where technology is playing a major role in combat.
Ukraine does not have that many men between 18 and 25.

Look at the gigantic dip near the bottom.
Conscripting men between 18 and 25 would not provide many men, while completely destroying that already tiny generation.
This is unironically what should happen to some of these war watchers
Womp Womp
easiest way to end all wars is to send those that call for it..
Unlimited conscription on the Redditors.
Sokalskii spent a long time thinking about the country's conscription process, which has been plagued by corruption. He said he believes it would work better as a lottery where "everybody has to suffer equally" — with the option to trade with a family member or friend willing to take your place.
In North Soviet China, you can be drafted to fight neighboring nations based on lottery, though you have the option of throwing someone else under the bus as well to save yourself.
Just like in my Hunger Gamerinos!
This guy whitewashed Naziism and COUNTLESS war crimes in Ukraine, as well as the reasons this war is happening in the first place. I have no sympathy for him.
A reddtior gave him this advice in his AMA
keep shopping bags or trash bags…line your helmet with it for a mobile latrine
I don't understand this. Is he talking about shitting in the helmet?
think it's just a place to stash the bags until use
EDIT: nope, after thinking about it more I think you are right, the bag is stretched over the helmet as a frame and you squat over it.
I am not even mad. If he is willing to die on that hill
Just came back to this post to see what this dork was up to, and the guy is working with the Hospitallers, which is a group working under the Ukraine's Right Sector.
