Remember the story of 49-year-old Oleksiy, who swam across the Dniester River to escape the war and reach Moldova, while Ukrainian border guards pursued him and tried to drown him? Well, there’s finally some good news: Oleksiy has been discharged from the hospital and reunited with his wife and daughters in Sofia🥰

“Neo-Nazis have no influence in Ukraine. It’s all Kremlin propaganda.” So I’m told by the Slava Ukraini crowd, including a remarkable number of Western leftists who have apparently mistaken political denial for antifascism. Now, take a good look at what happened in Lviv today. Ihor Sholtys, a former officer of the Nachtigall Battalion — named after the notorious Nazi-collaborationist formation of 1941 — now part of Azov Corps, turned up with his boys to violently disrupt an event organized by left-wing activists. Among those beaten was historian, war veteran, and Social Movement activist Vladyslav Starodubtsev. And now, dear leftists, here comes the punchline. Take a long, hard look at Vladyslav’s face. That is what your romantic flirtation with Ukrainian neo-Nazis may eventually earn you. The irony is particularly exquisite in Vladyslav’s case: he himself had attacked me for criticizing precisely the same neo-Nazis. Apparently, the antifascist credentials of Ukrainian ultranationalists come with an expiration date — usually the moment you find yourself on the receiving end of their fists. These men exist. They are real. And they exercise power on Ukraine’s streets, while its young, already badly limping democracy struggles to remain upright. And as that democracy slowly bleeds out, the Western chorus keeps chanting its favorite magic spell: Slava Ukraini! Because apparently, if you shout it loudly enough, you can drown out the sound of democracy having its teeth knocked out.

![“You took my brother [to the war] — and he died! Aren’t you ashamed? Let the boy go! Let him go!” Women in my native city of Lviv shout as they try to free a young man being forcibly mobilized by recruitment officers and police. There is a deeply personal motive behind scenes like this — behind women stepping in to protect other women’s husbands, sons and brothers from forced draft. For them, this is not abstract politics. It is personal loss. One has lost a husband. Another, a son. Another, a brother... They know what that loss feels like. They know the hole it leaves behind, because they still carry it with them. And they do not want another woman to be condemned to the same grief. So they step forward. They defend someone else’s husband. Someone else’s son. Someone else’s brother. These women are among the true heroines of this war. They are its human face — in a war that has stripped far too many others of theirs.](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2095182443753959488/amplify_video_thumb/2095181606499594243/img/4n6a2wOIraweFEjr.jpg)

“Mom is gone. They took Dad away. Who am I supposed to live with?!” the boy cries for his father, who was taken away by draft officers to be sent off to war. His father was the boy’s sole legal guardian — which means he was legally entitled to a deferment from military service. Yet violations like this are increasingly becoming the norm. Mobilization quotas won’t fill themselves. Welcome to Zelenskyy’s country of “Four Freedoms.”

Two young Ukrainian men are sharing videos of how they spent 14 days escaping the open-air prison called “Ukraine” and making it to Romania. Let’s all raise a glass to two lives saved — two young men who won’t be turned into battlefield statistics for the interests of the “Epstein class” in yet another proxy war. Apparently, in 2026, successfully fleeing your own country without getting caught is what passes for a happy ending. Cheers.🥂

In Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, draft officers arrived at a factory and began forcibly taking men away to be sent to the front lines. When coworkers tried to stand up for their colleague, one of the manhunters pulled out a handgun and threatened them at gunpoint. The Revolution of Dignity (Maidan): The Aftermath.

“Help me!” screams a young man in sheer terror as he is dragged away by Ukrainian draft officers—to be sent into the kill zone and, quite possibly, to his death. Listen to his scream, you who sit in Brussels deciding the fate of Ukrainian men. Listen carefully. May that scream haunt your sleep. If he dies, his blood will be on your hands—as will the blood of tens of thousands of other working-class men sent to the front against their will.

Brutal forced mobilization in Lviv. And now, my dear defenders of conscription, imagine that the man being treated this way is your husband, your brother, your son. Would you still defend it? Would you want this to happen to him? Most likely, he will end up in the infantry — where the shortage of manpower is now catastrophic and where soldiers may survive only a few months. And all of this is happening while the highest echelons of Ukraine’s government have spent the past year being rocked by corruption scandals involving hundreds of millions of euros. So before you preach to other people about their “duty” to be forcibly sent to war, ask yourself one simple question: Would you demand the same sacrifice if the man being dragged away were someone you loved?
