Ukrainian men are evading the draft in massive numbers. It's not Russian propaganda.
Trump is right in pressing Zelensky against a wall to get him to agree to a ceasefire. Ukraine is not getting Crimea back. That's pipedream. They are also not getting back their Russian speaking eastern provinces. They are all occupied and fortified by the Russians. These muthafuckas will collapse at any minute. They need to cut a deal quick and save whatever they can.

They are kidnapping people off the streets in Ukraine. If you are old enough they will take you. Understandably this leads to low morale. Couple that with low quality training focused on quantity. And drone warfare.
The Russian side isn't any better. They are forcing wave after wave of people to capture these cities, doubly so if the city has already been declared "liberated". From the war footage I've seen it's not going well for either nation. Drone warfare has changed everything. For example if spotted, then you can't return to the base because then they'll just drop artillery on your comrades.
I almost feel like there will be a day where nations can no longer wage war effectively because technology and an asymptomatic decentralized insurgency with cheap tools will make easy work of their forces. In a lot of ways that's what happening to Russia in the captured cities with partisan activities.
