    The question is: how sure are you that it will be different when russia ultimately conquers ukraine?

    I am not sure, but

    1. May I (and every other Ukrainian, and every other human) pretty please decide my choices myself?
    2. It doesn’t happen in Russia in a nearly similar scale though. How come that even though it’s “a political suicide” to criticize Ukraine (well, way less so than it was 2 years ago of course, but still) - and there are articles everywhere, including western media, about Zelensky’s atrocities - but there are very few news about this happening in Russia, even though they are the bad ones and criticizing them is as popular at it can be?

    Fragging any officers on ukraine side is not really going to help anyone.

    Fragging officers (including “recruitment officers”) is in fact the best thing you can do if you are already captured by “recruitment officers” and cannot escape the war. At least you will help other people, whom Zelensky’s regime will be more afraid to kidnap now.

    Only real possibility for you would be to get out of the country by any means. Even if it means sneaking over the border at night with just a backpack.

    That’s what people do, unfortunately a lot of people have either died that way, or were captured by the “heroes” of the border guard. Zelensky has way more success in defending the western border of his kingdom (against simple folk trying to escape his regime), then the eastern one (against a proper army). I know both people who managed to escape (although through occupied territories, not through forests/mountains/rivers) and those who got caught and sent to the meatgrinder.
