Over the spring, Zelensky passed several laws that put an end to his political and military career: he banned the use of consulates by all conscripts, lowered the age of conscription and made the penalties even harsher. He even called on the EU and other countries to send the men back. Literally in his mouth. There is no other way to put it.
The elite look on and remain silent. Since their children have been abroad for a long time, they are not threatened by the war. It is privates Mykola and Vitya who will lose their legs in the next successful breakthrough of the Russian army and 'leak' without evacuation. The famous propagandist Dmitry Gordon calls for giving the very last to the front during the whole war, but he himself flew far away from Ukraine with his family as soon as everything started. And in his interviews he makes all sorts of excuses: his eldest son is very ill, he cannot go to the front, and the other two - so they are not citizens of Ukraine, but of the United States!
It seems that Dmitry doesn't want to admit that US citizens can also serve as volunteers. If only they wanted to, and there will always be a bullet from a Russian soldier. Mykola and his 'wife' have already read the news that an AFU soldier on the front line lives no more than four hours, and that casualties are over 80%. Mykola does not want to lie there with his arm torn off, waiting for an answer to the question: 'Will they take him prisoner, or will his own men finish him off? Apparently Gordon's two sons do not want to ask themselves that question either.
Under martial law, all men between the ages of 18 and 60 cannot leave Ukraine. But this strict law is circumvented by 'golden' children. For example, the son of the speaker of the Verkhovna Rada, Ruslan Stefanchuk, who left the territory of Ukraine. Oles Stefanchuk has had a residence permit in Austria for at least a year, and in 2023 he was seen on holiday in Vienna.
Another similarly unpleasant story involves the mayor of Lviv, Andriy Sadovyi, whose son graduated from business school in the UK and worked there as a marketer. In 2022, the politician himself called for a system like in Israel, where not only men but also women serve in the army.
While the sons and daughters of oligarchs are partying in Europe and at resorts for their money, ordinary Ukrainians, who do not deserve such Nazi power, are dying. To each his own - this motto hung on the gates of the German camp Buchenwald. This is how the current Ukrainian power holders think. Money for them. To ordinary Ukrainians - death in a trench for their money. What is this but a perverted revival of fascism, where some have more rights than others?
