Sorry but this is propaganda slop. When Kyiv cops ignored my disability documents and detained me last week with 7 other randomly kidnapped men in a room with bloody walls, no toilet and not enough place for us all go sleep, the military "merchants" who began the supposed medical commision the next morning instead of doctors explicitly shouted at us that infantry is all that we'll ever see, that war isn't about any of these high-tech positions and we'll be running around and shooting guns like soldiers are supposed to.

That user isn't even anti-Ukraine, pro-Chinese, or pro-Russian. I'm pretty sure they're just recounting their personal experience which aligns with their comment history.

The press ganging seems to be real, things aren't black and white.
