The Ukrainian law isn’t clear on what happens to the second citizenship. The phrasing in the constitution is ambiguous on whether you can’t have another citizenship or whether you can but for the purposes of the law only your Ukrainian citizenship matters. In practice, everyone treats it as the latter. If you try to use your other citizenship to enter the country, you’ll get a fine. But that’s about it.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-05-06

Drafting women would be the death knell for a society. If Ukraine did it then the people will rise up and immediately call for an end to hostilities, even if it meant capitulation. It has nothing to do with sexism.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-05-06
No, it's me saying if you want to see the status quo change, you need to be the change you want to see in the world. There's always a line though, where there's more good to be done but people feel the drop in their living standards and go nope. You're the same. You actually do have more to give, you just don't want to give it. You seem to not even realize it. I think about people I've met in the third world that didn't even know what electricity or ice was. Yet here you are playing games like starfield and stardew.... >I don’t have to prove it to you, but I am literally doing everything I can. I don’t have anything to give I haven’t already given. I hope you likewise do the same. No, it's everything you're willing to do. I'm sure you've done a lot, but not everything you could. Not even close. You drew a line and stopped. I'm not shaming you for doing it, almost everyone does, just calling out your obvious BS. Equal whatever for all, means a dramatic reduction in living standards for everyone in the first world. To the point of it being incomprehensible for most in the first world.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-05-06

thats what u got from there lmfao =))?! so why is it male privilege than?! why is it not rich or powerful people privilege?! =)) Oh shut the fck up, a woman can have like 15\~30 babies in a lifetime. If society is at risk... pretty sure a few thousand of them would just about do the trick, if they actually care to save said society. No need for millions and millions. Reproduction being their "draft" is the shit u use when u got nothing else to say. Having a kid - in a modern hospital/environment with tens of doctors near u - is NOTHING compared to being shot and bleeding to death while starved and freezing in some muddy trench hundreds of miles from home.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-05-06

True, in usual circumstances, when the government minds their own business and doesn’t try to stimulate the birthrate with money and such.

You shouldn’t be forced, sure, but forfeiting your citizenship if you aren’t willing to defend your country seems appropriate. Don’t expect to come back to a country someone else has fought and died to protect when you weren’t willing to do the same. That and based on your extremely cringe Redditism I doubt the drafting agents would be scared of you or your katana collection.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-05-06
The Equal Rights Amendment would have required women to join the draft in the US. That was a big argument against it, and not one made by feminists. The strawman approach doesn't help anyone. Saying "women should also be required to join the draft" is fine. Saying "women don't actually care about sexism when it benefits them" is overreaching.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-05-06

Typically the only times I see it being used to insult someone is when they’re ignorant to the fact of that privilege. Like I’ve seen tons of arguments where a guy is trying to tell women it’s safe to go somewhere because he doesn’t feel unsafe there. This is just ignorance, and often leads to him arguing about it or insulting them first because they’re rightfully scared/nervous about their safety in the area (I’m trying to be vague because this could apply to any number of circumstances I’ve seen from time of day, if you’re alone or not, physical location, etc…). When you call someone out on their privilege here, it isn’t about shame, it’s telling them they’re wrong and aren’t considering the other persons perspective. It’s literally insulting their lack of empathy or ability to understand there is a difference, not insulting their privilege itself. I’m a white trans woman, I never considered the privilege I had as a male until after I transitioned, seeing that privilege disappear in most areas of my life also let me better see the privilege I enjoy from being white and better notice the differences with me and friends of color I have. I’ve never felt “ashamed” of being white and I never felt ashamed of being male when I was one. The issue is people taking general statements as a personal attack when it’s not. The only time someone should ever feel ashamed of their privilege is when they use it intentionally to hurt others.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-05-06

My former employer has/had offices in Ukraine. For awhile my coworkers were working without power, or from their cars. In the my most recent communication with one of them, he had found his way to another country in Europe and was now working from “home”. I didn’t want to ask him if he transited legally or illegally. He’s an able-bodied adult male suitable to fight, so I can’t imagine they just LET him leave. I think that US based employer is not going to push the issue. I don’t know what currency he’s paid in but if he has negotiated for something other than the hryvnia he’s probably OK. But if he’s getting paid in hryvnia, but he needs to pay for food and rent in euros, that could get ugly.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-05-06

I moved from Sevastopol to the US in 2006. I had a Ukrainian citizenship at the time. To get a US citizenship, I served a few terms in the Marine Corps. My family got naturalized slower due to work visa reqs. I'm a disabled vet now with severe spine issues. I want to help rebuild a village on the back end of the war, but I'm a liability in any actual operational capacity by now. I'm only 30, so I can still swing a hammer no problem, but I'm past my prime to do buddy rushes lol. Since I'm a naturalized citizen now in the US and not dual since I had to renounce my UA citizenship, will I: - be somehow recognized as a traitor of sorts if I show back up?? -Do I need to contact someone?

I agree. Even if the government succedes in getting men like you back to fight, what will it accomplish militarily. Morale would (rightfully) be non existent, and they wouldn't fight well.

> Since I'm a naturalized citizen now in the US and not dual since I had to renounce my UA citizenship I believe you are mistaken. I am also a naturalized US citizen. At no point of naturalization process you are renouncing your other citizenships. You say some words which amount to renouncing allegiance, but that doesn't do anything to the citizenships you already have. To renounce Ukrainian citizenship, you'd have to go to Ukrainian consulate, and it's not an easy process - or one you would forget. Almost certainly you are still a Ukrainian citizen. >be somehow recognized as a traitor of sorts if I show back up?? No, you won't be considered a "traitor". What you will be considered is a Ukrainian male aged 26-60, fit for service. >Do I need to contact someone? Normally I'd say: contact Ukrainian consulate, they will direct you further. But at the moment, no Ukrainian official is giving a clear answer. Hence this post from the US Embassy in Kyiv. I would say your steps are: 1. Contact [Consulate of Ukraine in the US](https://usa.mfa.gov.ua/en) to find out what it takes to lose your Ukrainian citizenship 2. Follow the directive from the US Embassy in this article, and don't plan on going to Ukraine any time soon. Optimistically, they will sort this out at some point. I am angry, and will try to make enough noise for them to be hard to ignore us. I'll ping you if it comes to filing a lawsuit.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-06-06

>Here in Japan people are successfully updating their draft information through Diya Reserv + app. I was able to log in and update my address with the Reserv+ app, and my status is consistently "Уточнюється" ("to be verified"), because the app doesn't register people for the draft. Most people in my place won't be able to use the app, because logging in requires having a bank account in Ukraine, which they use for authentication. I have opened my first Ukrainian bank account in August 2023 when I was in Kyiv; otherwise, I wouldn't be able to even do that.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-06-06

There are many other ways to cross-reference people though. Full name and date of birth gets one close enough to a unique match that the rest can be done manually. Doesn't matter though. The visa-free requirement from the EU means that Ukrainian passports are biometric. I.e., they can match you to a database in any case if you have a passport issued in the past 7 years or so. Since passports are issued for 10 years normally, that's most people.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-06-06
https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/countries-with-mandatory-military-service Most of the countries that have mandatory military service are culturally conservative countries. If you asked the average Russian, Turkish, or Lithuanian man if he'd want women to be drafted he'd likely say no. The few western countries are being hypocritical but it shouldn't be surprising that a country like Iran that murders women for not wearing headscarves properly won't draft them in the military.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-06-06

They won't run out before Ukraine runs out. They just have a much larger population base to draw from. Size matters in this case. And you mentioned their militia allies. Russia as we speak is rebuilding it's army and military infrastructure at a rapid pace. A year ago the military experts said it would take over a decade, now it's down to less than a year. Artillery production already dwarfs what the west can send Ukraine, nearly 3 times as many shells are produced for Russia than the west can ship. That's why some western countries have thought shifting to a war footing to begin production of war essential materials such as artillery shells by retooling mfg plants. Russia is already doing this, has been doing this. >The Russian military began 2023 with a highly disorganized force in Ukraine comprising approximately 360,000 troops," military experts Jack Watling and Nick Reynolds wrote in the study, released on Feb. 13. >"By the beginning of the Ukrainian offensive in June 2023, this had risen to 410,000 troops and was becoming more organized. Over the summer of 2023, Russia established training regiments along the border and in the occupied territories and — following the mutiny of Wagner forces — endeavoured to standardize its units, breaking down the previous trend toward private armies. >"By the beginning of 2024, the Russian Operational Group of Forces in the occupied territories comprised 470,000 troops. >The RUSI report said that with no large-scale offensives underway, Russian units are conducting smaller tactical attacks that "at minimum inflict steady losses on Ukraine and allow Russian forces to seize and hold positions." >Russia's ministry of defence has said it wants to expand the military to 1.5 million personnel, a plan that has not been realized. RUSI's report says "recruiters are currently achieving almost 85 per cent of their assigned targets for contracting troops to fight in Ukraine. >Russia will also continue regenerating combat power, recruiting more than 10,000 troops per month," Gady said. Then they have assets from foriegn countries flooding the battlefield in drones and devastating 155 mm artillery. Russia is revamping it's military, retraining it's troops and keeps increasing total troop power inside Ukraine. It's a numbers game Ukraine can't win without outside ground troops.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-06-06

Why is one of your main sources one of the shittiest Ukrainian tabloids that's up there with the likes of Espresso and Obozrevatel? Is that where you get reliable information from? >everything that's not great is a "Russian narrative". How about we don't give them narratives of this sort? No concrete things are, most of the lies start with a modicum of truth and get blown up, that's the most effective kind of misinformation. That's usually what happens. Like there is a concrete problem with X unit on Y front, and this gets blown up and generalized to the whole frontline. I don't have time to read your whole blog post thoroughly, but from a quick read I saw that it was filled with speculation, so tell me how's the new 2024 Maidan against Zelensky going from his loss of social credit? >IIRC, last excuse was that Zaluzhny "didn't present a plan". Neither did Syrski, though, so that couldn't have been the reason. They don't owe you any explanation, and you shouldn't speculate about supposed conflicts and how he got fired over an internal feuds, narratives were pumping that conflict narrative extremely hard and you're one of the people who helped them. Zaluzhny had two years at the helm and did not provide satisfactory results, so he was replaced by another very competent person, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. You're also seemingly one of the people who idolized him and attributed ZSU's triumphs to him on a personal level. We were all thankful for his service and what he helped accomplish, and there is nothing wrong with his replacement. >Ukraine existentially depends on the US, which Blinken represents. >You can't ignore that. And Ukraine isn't a US vassal, don't have to agree on everything. Elections are utterly nonsensical right now, and there was just a giant Russian campaign "Maidan 3" that aimed to discredit the president and push for elections, it was reported and confirmed by international news.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-06-06

He did his job then. Good. We're two years past that point now. The war has changed. He has not adapted well. >Being an armchair general helps nobody. You're telling this to Blinken, the US Secretary of State. You realize that, right? I just quoted him. Zaluzhny isn't an armchair general either. >Plus, he will almost certainly be assassinated at some point, so I think he deserves a break. What break? I am not judging him for not doing a great job now. He's probably got enough PTSD from the first months of war. I am just observing what anyone who is grounded in reality is observing - including people like Zaluzhny and Blinken (..not to mention journalists like Butusov): that Zelenskyy's administration has been failing to do its job, starting early in 2023.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-07-06
>So there's no way to get rid of this citizenship at all, if you may still have it by birth? The official procedure exists, but if the state doesn't want to annull it, it won't. It's up to the state. And the procedure can't be initiated if you're investigated for a crime (which not registering for draft may be). Depriving people with Russian citizenship of their Ukrainian citizenship is the last thing Ukraine wants to do, because it'll fuck over people in occupied territories (many of whom were forced to acquire Russian citizenship). The lack of some sort of automatic loss of citizenship, in general, is good - it protects people from ending up stateless or deprived of their rights. But the system is not exactly working in the interests of dual citizens right now. Or even in its own interests, for that matter. It's the self-destructive stupidity that can't be explained by malice.	r/worldnews	comment	r/worldnews	2024-11-06

The Ukrainian law isn’t clear on what happens to the second citizenship. The phrasing in the constitution is ambiguous on whether you can’t have another citizenship or whether you can but for the purposes of the law only your Ukrainian citizenship matters. In practice, everyone treats it as the latter. If you try to use your other citizenship to enter the country, you’ll get a fine. But that’s about it.

No, it's me saying if you want to see the status quo change, you need to be the change you want to see in the world. There's always a line though, where there's more good to be done but people feel the drop in their living standards and go nope. You're the same. You actually do have more to give, you just don't want to give it. You seem to not even realize it. I think about people I've met in the third world that didn't even know what electricity or ice was. Yet here you are playing games like starfield and stardew.... >I don’t have to prove it to you, but I am literally doing everything I can. I don’t have anything to give I haven’t already given. I hope you likewise do the same. No, it's everything you're willing to do. I'm sure you've done a lot, but not everything you could. Not even close. You drew a line and stopped. I'm not shaming you for doing it, almost everyone does, just calling out your obvious BS. Equal whatever for all, means a dramatic reduction in living standards for everyone in the first world.

Reproduction being their "draft" is the shit u use when u got nothing else to say.

The Equal Rights Amendment would have required women to join the draft in the US. That was a big argument against it, and not one made by feminists. The strawman approach doesn't help anyone.

Typically the only times I see it being used to insult someone is when they’re ignorant to the fact of that privilege. Like I’ve seen tons of arguments where a guy is trying to tell women it’s safe to go somewhere because he doesn’t feel unsafe there. This is just ignorance, and often leads to him arguing about it or insulting them first because they’re rightfully scared/nervous about their safety in the area (I’m trying to be vague because this could apply to any number of circumstances I’ve seen from time of day, if you’re alone or not, physical location, etc…). When you call someone out on their privilege here, it isn’t about shame, it’s telling them they’re wrong and aren’t considering the other persons perspective. It’s literally insulting their lack of empathy or ability to understand there is a difference, not insulting their privilege itself. I’m a white trans woman, I never considered the privilege I had as a male until after I transitioned, seeing that privilege disappear in most areas of my life also let me better see the privilege I enjoy from being white and better notice the differences with me and friends of color I have. I’ve never felt “ashamed” of being white and I never felt ashamed of being male when I was one. The issue is people taking general statements as a personal attack when it’s not. The only time someone should ever feel ashamed of their privilege is when they use it intentionally to hurt others.

My former employer has/had offices in Ukraine. For awhile my coworkers were working without power, or from their cars. In the my most recent communication with one of them, he had found his way to another country in Europe and was now working from “home”. I didn’t want to ask him if he transited legally or illegally. He’s an able-bodied adult male suitable to fight, so I can’t imagine they just LET him leave. I think that US based employer is not going to push the issue. I don’t know what currency he’s paid in but if he has negotiated for something other than the hryvnia he’s probably OK. But if he’s getting paid in hryvnia, but he needs to pay for food and rent in euros, that could get ugly.

I am also a naturalized US citizen. **At no point of naturalization process you are renouncing your other citizenships**. You say some words which amount to renouncing *allegiance*, but that doesn't do anything to the citizenships you already have. To renounce Ukrainian citizenship, you'd have to go to Ukrainian consulate, and it's not an easy process - or one you would forget. **Almost certainly you are still a Ukrainian citizen**. >be somehow recognized as a traitor of sorts if I show back up?? No, you won't be considered a "traitor". What you will be considered is a Ukrainian male aged 26-60, **fit for service**. >Do I need to contact someone? Normally I'd say: contact Ukrainian consulate, they will direct you further. But at the moment, **no Ukrainian official is giving a clear answer**. Hence this post from the US Embassy in Kyiv. I would say your steps are: 1. Contact [Consulate of Ukraine in the US](https://usa.mfa.gov.ua/en) to find out what it takes to lose your Ukrainian citizenship 2. Follow the directive from the US Embassy in this article, and don't plan on going to Ukraine any time soon. Optimistically, they will sort this out *at some point*.

There are many other ways to cross-reference people though. Full name and date of birth gets one close enough to a unique match that the rest can be done manually. Doesn't matter though. The visa-free requirement from the EU means that **Ukrainian passports are biometric**. I.e., they can match you to a database in any case if you have a passport issued in the past 7 years or so. Since passports are issued for 10 years normally, that's most people.

They won't run out before Ukraine runs out. They just have a much larger population base to draw from. Size matters in this case. And you mentioned their militia allies. Russia as we speak is rebuilding it's army and military infrastructure at a rapid pace. A year ago the military experts said it would take over a decade, now it's down to less than a year. Artillery production already dwarfs what the west can send Ukraine, nearly 3 times as many shells are produced for Russia than the west can ship. That's why some western countries have thought shifting to a war footing to begin production of war essential materials such as artillery shells by retooling mfg plants. Russia is already doing this, has been doing this. >The Russian military began 2023 with a highly disorganized force in Ukraine comprising approximately 360,000 troops," military experts Jack Watling and Nick Reynolds wrote in the study, released on Feb. 13. >"By the beginning of the Ukrainian offensive in June 2023, this had risen to 410,000 troops and was becoming more organized. Over the summer of 2023, Russia established training regiments along the border and in the occupied territories and — following the mutiny of Wagner forces — endeavoured to standardize its units, breaking down the previous trend toward private armies. >"By the beginning of 2024, the Russian Operational Group of Forces in the occupied territories comprised 470,000 troops. >The RUSI report said that with no large-scale offensives underway, Russian units are conducting smaller tactical attacks that "at minimum inflict steady losses on Ukraine and allow Russian forces to seize and hold positions." >Russia's ministry of defence has said it wants to expand the military to 1.5 million personnel, a plan that has not been realized. RUSI's report says "recruiters are currently achieving almost 85 per cent of their assigned targets for contracting troops to fight in Ukraine. >Russia will also continue regenerating combat power, recruiting more than 10,000 troops per month," Gady said. Then they have assets from foriegn countries flooding the battlefield in drones and devastating 155 mm artillery. Russia is revamping it's military, retraining it's troops and keeps increasing total troop power inside Ukraine. It's a numbers game Ukraine can't win without outside ground troops.

No concrete things are, most of the lies start with a modicum of truth and get blown up, that's the most effective kind of misinformation. That's usually what happens. Like there is a concrete problem with X unit on Y front, and this gets blown up and generalized to the whole frontline. I don't have time to read your whole blog post thoroughly, but from a quick read I saw that it was filled with speculation, so tell me how's the new 2024 Maidan against Zelensky going from his loss of social credit? >IIRC, last excuse was that Zaluzhny "didn't present a plan". Neither did Syrski, though, so that couldn't have been the reason. They don't owe you any explanation, and you shouldn't speculate about supposed conflicts and how he got fired over an internal feuds, narratives were pumping that conflict narrative extremely hard and you're one of the people who helped them. Zaluzhny had two years at the helm and did not provide satisfactory results, so he was replaced by another very competent person, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. You're also seemingly one of the people who idolized him and attributed ZSU's triumphs to him on a personal level. We were all thankful for his service and what he helped accomplish, and there is nothing wrong with his replacement. >Ukraine existentially depends on the US, which Blinken represents. >You can't ignore that. And Ukraine isn't a US vassal, don't have to agree on everything.

I am not judging him for not doing a great job now. He's probably got enough PTSD from the first months of war.

>So there's no way to get rid of this citizenship at all, if you may still have it by birth? The official procedure exists, but if the state doesn't want to annull it, it won't. It's up to the state. And the procedure can't be initiated if you're investigated for a crime (which not registering for draft may be). Depriving people with Russian citizenship of their Ukrainian citizenship is the last thing Ukraine wants to do, because it'll fuck over people in occupied territories (many of whom were **forced** to acquire Russian citizenship). The lack of some sort of automatic loss of citizenship, in general, is good - it protects people from ending up stateless or deprived of their rights. But the system is not exactly working in the interests of dual citizens right now. Or even in its own interests, for that matter. It's the self-destructive stupidity that can't be explained by malice.

Violence is coming anyway. One way leads to a further occupation by Islamofascists. A difficult potential way could lead back to a secular (enough) government Lebanon.

It's OK we're perfectly safe. Ukraine isn't allowed to shoot us here. 5 minutes later...

War of attrition only worked for the USSR because the UK and the US supplied them with aid via Persia. USSR were getting their asses kicked until the UK got over their fear of having a communist ally.

Because you can't both throw all your men into the military industrial complex and send them to the frontlines. Take the latest reports from inside Russia that they are short 5 million workers, the more you send to the frontline or defence industries the more your wider economy crumbles. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russia-short-around-48-million-workers-2023-crunch-persist-izvestia-2023-12-24/

For context, [Ukraine lost 31 000 men in the whole war](https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/02/25/7443637/), and russia has lost more [than that in May alone.](https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/06/2/7458756/) EDIT: In case this wasn't clear, trusting a newspaper called Pravda ("the truth", as everyone from former soviet union could tell you, really ironic name) is dumb. It's propaganda all the way, and if you believe it, I have a fucking space elevator to sell. Really cheap, really nice.

The thing is, Ukraine has a very limited battle ready population and a decency of external aid that is not even a steady and secure help.

As much as I really want to believe this, I think Ukranian casualties are definitely higher. This is a war, so the numbers are going to get fudged. Otherwise, Ukraine wouldn't be having to worry about a manpower shortage.

Way easier to shoot at motorcycles than an armored vehicle. You are not going to be able to go full speed on the motorcycle due to all the craters from artillery and previous mine explosions. One bump and everyone is off the motorcycle.

if they don't lose weapons, they dont have anything to do in their economy. they're incentivised to make poor weapons so that they can keep working. They fuck around so much that they fuck themselves over and cannot comprehend it

For the rider? Makes it a bit more spicy if an FPV drone impacts near/on you. But, I was just providing evidence to counter OPs claim that they were not transporting mortars, only food and water. Food and water is a reasonable thing because you can carry a fair bit, but someone shuttling 3 mortar rounds on a bike is a bit more ridiculous because that lasts less than a minute firing. Not really practical.

You aren’t attacking with motorcycles. You are resupplying advanced troops. If these motorcycles are encountering small arms fire, something went wrong and the enemy is behind your front line. I drive motorcycles and dirt bikes all the time. Simply go around or slowly through the craters lol. It’s easy.

What Russia doesn’t have a lot of, is military age men. They are destroying their demographics and won’t be able to sustain their economy when everyone is either really old or too young.

Vietnamese famously deliver single mortar rounds through the jungle on foot and taking days. The American general thought it was foolish and pointless, while Vietnamese and Chinese celebrate it was perseverance. I will leave you decide who was right.
