@Terry I'm beginning to think Zelenski does not care a lot about his troops.

In the War of the Triple Alliance (1864-1870), Paraguay lost around 90% of its adult male population. Later, around 70% of the overall population died of famine and disease too. Today, Paraguay is famous for its brown criminals and bootleg DVDs. Ukraine should not fight to the end like Paraguay did.

Also, if the conflict is so chaotic, why aren't these men defecting? No one seems to be there to shoot them in the back any more.
