As far as I know this is the first case of a Ukrainian civilian actually standing up for themselves, and not running from TCC "officers", but shooting them instead, and even rescuing a mobilized man in this case! The best moment for that was about three years ago, but the second one was now.
Unfortunately, they were both caught. Still, now that getting shot is on the table, maybe other "officers" will think twice before kidnapping people.
Let's not pretend this doesn't happen 100 fold in Russia, except your tiny dictator doesn't allow people to speak freely in Russia, so you wouldnt know. It's the ugly side of conscription, and none of this would be happening if it wasn't for 1 mans tiny ego. Gtfo out of Ukraine
I think it's also happening in Russia, and people fighting for their freedom in Russia are also heroes
"My tiny dictator" (that I didn't vote for though, and who is totally illegitimate right now) is Zelenskyi, he doesn't have a great deal of influence on speaking freely in Russia, he does make sure that people have no say in his little kingdom where he is the authoritarian ruler though
Thankfully I already did. Otherwise I would be dead just like hundreds of thousands of other Ukrainians, thanks to people like you who support Zelensky's regime.
