      Frankly I dislike this comment. We all agree that Putin and the kleptochratic Russian regime needs to go away, but can we please not cheer on hundreds of thousands of young men going to be killed?

      Not only are they human beings too (and given Russian conscription methods quite literally stuck between a rock and a hard place), but also mean Ukranian soldiers being further traumatised, both physically and mentally.
