    Zelensky didn’t want the job either but he packed up his actor clothes and has so far been putting on a damn fine leadership show. I can imagine plenty of wealthier families are trying to dodge. who wouldn’t…10k seems low for bargaining ones potential life. not that any of this or that in ukraine is good right now. I just hope zelensky’s soul isn’t so blackened that he turns this into a teaching moment rather than punishment.

        Or a discreet state agency paying to undermine the defense of a nation. All signs point to Russia paying for these bribes since they’ve shown they can’t compete on the battlefield.

          Maybe Ukrainian people just don’t want to die and sold their possessions for money? I have a very hard time believing that every person in Ukraine is willing to fight on the front line.

              Considering how Eastern Europe is, 10k is probably the base price which can be negotiated down to whatever a person can actually afford to pay. The officer still makes money.

      Zelenskyy didn’t want the job, which is why he created and starred in a show that was basically a glorified political campaign.
