Even the most biased sources don’t claim the fighting force is 100% forced fighters, none.
Neither did I. But the percentage grows with each day, otherwise why would they potentially damage their reputation by kidnapping people from the streets, if there were any volunteers left?
That similarly doesn’t mean Russia will stop taking territory. You’re actively advocating for Russian annexation of Ukraine.
I’m actively advocating for almost the most basic human rights imaginable - freedom of movement and freedom to live. It’s way more important than that or other country owning some territory.
They have tried that and are still trying that, what makes you think that every attempt had stopped.
Zelensky has never (except at the very start of the war) even pretended to do serious peace negotiations. His solution was always “yeah we want peace - when Russia leaves all our territories including those it controlled as far as in 2014 - and then we can think about having peace talk with them”. And he continuously has this attitude, as Russia gained more and more land. It’s not realistic peace talks in any way, it’s being a clown…
Moreover Russia agreed not to invade Ukraine in iirc 1991, they bring that peace agreement, they agreed not to invade Ukraine after annexing crimea, they broke that. Do you just blindly trust a government who has time and time again shown itself to not be trustworthy.
This is a fair point, they indeed broke that agreement. Just like any other country has broken agreements in the past. It doesn’t mean we should all just try to kill each other and never negotiate though.
What source are you using for these metrics you keep clinging to without sourcing.
What proof at all do you have of these claims you’ve again failed to source.
Your source about peace talks you claim were sabotaged says otherwise, choose a lane.
Oh so we’re just ignoring a chronic history of broken peace agreements and multiple invasions in what 40 years? Again choose a lane.
What source are you using for these metrics you keep clinging to without sourcing.
For my claim that the percentage of people involuntarily fighting the war? Just the logic. If you find my logic unsound, I’d very much like to hear why.

About what exactly? People being kidnapped on the streets and being forbidden to leave the country so they try to escape through rivers/mountains, or about something else?

Quote needed. Please stop putting words in my mouth :). I’ve said that the west (and especially Boris Johnson) encouraged Zelensky to go to war instead of making peace, linked article talks exactly about that.
You feel therefore it’s true huh? You know the punishment for draft dodging is a fine and you can leave the country if you give up citizenship.
All of those are secondhand accounts notably some by successful draft dodgers.
That would be sabotaging a peace talk dumb dumb, do you need everything to be word for word or are you at all capable of critical thought and basic inference.
