It’s revealing that you care so much about white mercs from Wagner but totally ignore casualties of black Malian troops killed by local AlQaeda branch with support of Ukraine. Seems like it’s impossible to be supportive towards Ukraine without being at least a bit racist.
What’s really under doubt here is your reading ability and knowledge of geography:

Pretty ironicaly, so called “Russian puppet” Yanukovych is literally the last Ukrainian president who was democraticaly elected by population of entire Ukraine (meaning within its 1991 borders).
Noone in US or EU would care about expiration of Zelensky’s presidential term as long as he’s reliable supplier of cannon fodder for proxy NATO-Russia war. Roosevelt’s words on Somoza ("he may be a son of a bitch, but he’s our son of a bitch’) would apply here as well.
Speaking about getting back 2013 Ukraine borders is not more reasonable than speaking about getting back 2013 Ukraine legitimate government. It’s impossible in real life to replay from save file - this means that Ukraine would stay with regime imposed by insurrectionists and without Crimea and Donbass.
Definately NOT proxy cannon fodder
So the choice is to get conscripted right now for an ongoing war or to avoid the draft for now and risk being drafted sometime in the future for a war that most likely would never happen? There’s no choice for sane person. And Ukrainians are much clever than you tend to think, that’s why they are evading draft en masse: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/28/world/europe/ukraine-conscription-mobilization-bill.html
In other news: Zelenskiy signed a bill on Tuesday to lower the mobilisation age for combat duty from 27 to 25 https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukraines-zelenskiy-signs-bill-lowering-mobilisation-age-combat-duty-25-2024-04-02/
So what we have here is nothing else than wholesale purchase of cannon fodder.
Why should PM of 1B nation care of some fake news?
Well, if Pope is called “piece of shit” for calling to negotiations to prevent more people dying, then who are you, who’s ok with war going on? Entire shit?

Anyone know who was backing the instigators? America? Russia?
I’d bet on France. Russia has no interest in removing Traoré as he’s pretty open towards cooperation among two countries. Here’s part of his speech on Russia-Africa summit last year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8J5mK7JKMY
One of lemmy.world’s most popular leaders
You might read the “reception” section of their Wikipedia article
The same link literally says:
Wikipedia editors consider Media Bias/Fact Check as “generally unreliable”, recommending against its use for what some see as breaking Wikipedia’s neutral point of view
Wow, war is peace, literally
Thanks for interesting excursion into your delusions. Actually you’ve just written WHY Ukraine is more desperate for manpower than Russia (“every single person is part of war effort and so on”). So you yourself proved your initial position to be wrong, but you were too lame to grasp that. And about “we are invaded”: the only war that you personally wage is war in lemmy comments against facts, logics and critical thinking. Don’t try to cover your own nullity with other’s casualities.
So Russia tried to hire some Cuban mercenaries… literally same as Ukraine has done since the begginning of conflict, scraping mercs from entire world. So there’s no point to argue, really trafficing more mercs = more desperate. From the third attempt you finally managed to bring something like valid argument, sadly it clearly works against you and once again shows that you’re bot without any logical thinking.
The question wasn’t who’s being INVADED, the question was who’s DESPERATE FOR MANPOWER.
wtf you’ve lost the point of conversation and of your own original message, that’s the real sign of ridiculous idiocy
I have no issue with your blocklist (and not gonna downvote your comment), but i still have to say that your position is pretty strange. Why at all join lemmy.ml which is known as real Babel tower with wide range of different opinions without any of them being dominant or enforced (which differs it from .world, beehaw, hexbear, lemmygrad and so on)? If you need echo chamber, you can join other instance or get back to reddit, no reason to wait someone to code some functions.
This article claims that the world’s third largest railroad network (after US and China) will collapse in a few days and this claim is based on a report from an anonimous telegram channel (“VChK-OGPU”) and an audio file provided by some Ukrainian propagandist. Moreover, it’s accompanied by a charming remark that “Newsweek was unable to independently verify the authenticity of the audio clip or VChK-OGPU’s report”. None of such “sources” are suitable for a post to pass the moderation in the lemmy worldnews community (be it .ml or .world), but for a Newsweek article it is somehow sufficient.
And the funniest thing is that Newsweek has MBFC Credibility Rating of “HIGH CREDIBILITY”. This is how “highly credible” MBFC approved journalism looks like.
