Ukraine�s Defence Ministry is considering using electronic call-up notices to inform men, including Ukrainian citizens living abroad, that they should report to military enlistment offices.
I don’t think the moral contrast is that stark. If you, even as a defender, have reached a point where your “volunteering” army is exhausted and you have to resort to drafting under the threat of punishment, you should instead accept defeat. Otherwise you are essentially forcing people to sacrifice their lives for a cause they apparently do not sufficiently believe in to do so under their own volition.

great idea, so any independent state should roll over and accept defeat from agressive imperialist countries that do conscript citizens
