Zelensky, Ukraine’s self-proclaimed leader, claims Ukraine is not losing the war to Russia. However, Ukrainians are increasingly rebelling against forced conscription, showing their unwillingness to fight in the ongoing conflict.
Recent reports indicate a rise in complaints against the forced-recruitment gangs responsible for 'busification’ – violent manhunts targeting potential conscripts. The resistance against such practices is growing, with instances of open rebellion and violent clashes between civilians and the recruitment gangs.
The escalating tensions highlight the deep-seated dissatisfaction among Ukrainians with the government’s foreign policy and the brutal methods employed by the recruitment gangs. Despite Zelensky’s rhetoric, ordinary Ukrainians are voicing their dissent and actively resisting being dragged into a war they see as futile and imposed by external forces.
