I’ve seen Ukrainian men volunteer from the very beginnings of the war.

I know a veteran with health problems practically clawing the wall because all his friends are fighting but he cannot.

I’ve seen them wait at home, and answer when they were called.

I’ve seen them attempt to cross the border, and remain unregistered to avoid the call.

And I’ve had one (via his sister talking to my wife), insist that I “lend” him my US passport so that he can leave the country. She insisted he’d mail it back to me.
