Exodus out of Ukraine underway.

 YOUNG MEN ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE THE INEVITABLE

100,000 MIGRATE IN LAST 60 DAYS

In August, Ukraine softened its rules on cross border migration, it was hoped that it would increase repatriation of citizens now living outside the country. In September and October an estimated 100,000 exited the country. Ukraine also lowered its draft age to 23, it has been incrementally lowering the age from 27 over the last few years. One can assume that it may be set to go even lower, with increased pressure from U.S. supporters, like Lindsey Graham, to lower the age to 18. 

At present, voluntary enlistments are rare with most of new recruits abducted by teams that routinely watch for men between 23 and 60 that are forcibly sent to the front, many assume it is to their certain death.  

It is also reported that infantrymen in most brigades are hopelessly undermanned with officers and commanders often far outnumbering foot soldiers. The life expectancy of commanders, some who have been fighting for 3 years, is far higher than new recruits.

With the prospect of lowering the draft age to 18, one might expect anyone even close to that age, to be a prospective migrant.

In that same time period 50 eligible draftees have died attempting to cross the river into Romania. One can only speculate how many may have been able to successfully escape.

At present the military prospects for Ukraine are growing dimmer with numerous battles in the process of being concluded. It is clear that Ukraine, without direct intervention by NATO personnel, will be continuously retreating over the blood and bodies of its young men.
