    I don’t need to. Their main military is by legislation conscripts. The claimant who said they’re mostly volunteer needs to prove that and no a retracted editorial is not a good source.

    What’s your source dude?

      Their main military is by legislation conscripts.

      And by law, conscripts are currently prohibited from serving outside the territory of the Russian Federation under any circumstances. Conscripts cannot even participate in peace-keeping missions.

        And countries would never break the law right? Certainly not Russia who signed an non aggression agreement with Ukraine in 91 right?

          Russia who signed an non aggression agreement with Ukraine in 91 right?

          I believe you meant the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. The Budapest Memorandum was first violated by America when they sanctioned Belarus in violation of Article 3 of the Memorandum.

          America then stated that the Memorandum was “not legally binding”.

            Is Ukraine the USA? Last I checked no, no they’re not. So the non aggression pact stands, I’m pretty sure it even has a severability clause for participants.

            What you’re actually saying is that Russia can invade because the USA is shitty? That’s a pretty slippery slope bud.
