Comments by "Olga P." (@olgap.) on "Is Ukraine running out of soldiers?" video.
Mostly men? I used to volunteer as a translator for newly arrived Ukrainian refugees. There were couple of men among them and one could see man driving cars with Ukrainian plates. But believe me, the vast majority of refugees are women and children.

Not really. Women and children who left the country rather shifter the balance towards 50:50 again because a lot of men were working abroad. The town where my grandparents used to live, last time visited in 2021, might not be representative for the whole country, but the vast majority of inhabitants were women, children and elderly. There is a statue of Mary with baby Jesus in her hands, or folk given name guest workers' wife. Most man who could be drafted were already wearing uniform, either army or police. Counting draftable men as a metric of sustainability or possible length of the war is very short-sighted to say the least. How long does it take till demographic change becomes irreversible? As long as political effort does not lead to the end of the war, financial and military help must be enough to kick Russians out of Ukraine, not only just enough to keep it going because Ukraine has enough people to loose for years to come.
