During the last few days I noticed a few people demanding that every Ukrainian refugee in Germany who is of able bodied age should be forced back to Ukraine to either fight on the front or work in ammunition factories or hospitals. As far as I can tell no major publication or politician has echoed this sentiment yet. I hope that will stay this way. But the sheer audacity with which these people demanded strangers to be sent to their death is astounding. “Fighting to the last Ukrainian” really is something they want and it sickens me.
I’m in western Canada a and while there are a lot of Ukrainian nationalists and hardcore neolibs here I feel like I hear from them a lot less now than I did a year ago in regards to the conflict. Definitely see far fewer Ukraine flags on cars and what not now.
I very rarely hear the topic come up in normal day to day conversation but when it does typically the consensus is that our country shouldn’t waste money on or get involved in the conflict as there are a lot of problems at home.
