Ukraine has accused the Kremlin of using negotiations to delay while reinforcing its position on the battlefield.

Summary

Vladimir Putin ordered the conscription of 160,000 men—the largest draft since 2011—despite ongoing U.S.-mediated ceasefire talks with Ukraine.

The move raises doubts about Russia’s commitment to diplomacy, with Kyiv accusing Moscow of using talks to buy time for battlefield gains in Sumy, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhzhia.

Ukraine claims Russia intends to escalate the war, citing forced contracts for conscripts. Losses remain high on both sides, with Russia reportedly losing over 100,000 troops in 2024 alone.

    This is how it works when your country has war on it’s land

    This is how you are told it works when your country has war on it’s land.

    I would expect any European country to react the same with war on their land.

    I would expect the same, most of them are ruled by corrupted politicians with blood on their hands

    War is hell on earth

    I agree, drafting people by force brings you closer to hell.
