Men in the vans, women on the streets: gender, nation, and resistance against forced mobilization in Ukraine and ex-Yugoslavia
Friday 23 January 2026.
"Busification," Ukraine's word of the year for 2024, describes the mass forced mobilization (word of the year 2023) of Ukrainian men that involves stuffing them into unmarked minibuses and often becomes more violent thereafter.

We are publishing here a letter from “Sasha” – a Russian con-scientious objector.
#
On the cold morning of September 30, 2022, I was standing at a #Moscow metro station, my heart pounding, when two police officers approached me. They stared at me and asked for my ID. They were supposed to take me to the police station to ‘verify my documents’, but I knew what that meant – my name had been added to the list of suspects, and the life I once knew was slipping away, caught in the relentless grip of a system from which I could no longer escape.”
Hours of terror followed. I was taken to a #mobilization center, surrounded by police and with no chance of escape. Before I knew it, I was on a bus full of recruits, heading into the unknown. Once I arrived at the training center, I refused to accept my situation. I tried to appeal the mobilization decision in the hope that I would be granted alternative civilian service instead. I submitted a formal request, but it was ignored. Despite my efforts, I was deployed. From an early age, I understood the power of kindness and how it can transform not only others but also myself. As a teenager, I was deeply influenced by watching documentaries about World War II. I promised myself that I would always offer a helping hand to those in need and never intentionally hurt anyone.
Even during my deployment, I tried to hold on to my convictions. I was surrounded by brutality, oppression, and injustice, but I refused to become a part of it. I offered them all the kindness I could. I helped people where I could and treated them with empathy and respect, even though everything around me seemed hopelessly dark. Despite these small acts of kindness, however, the psychological burden of being part of something I fundamentally disagreed with was unbearable.
I managed to escape and #desert. I now live in Georgia. My experiences have changed my life and my goals. I am now determined to end this unjust war and work toward a future where Russians can live freely and happily, without fear and oppression. I feel deep empathy for those who are still imprisoned in #Russia
and forced to give up their moral convictions just to survive. I hope for a future where such choices will no longer be necessary. Your support would be invaluable to me.

Ukrainian military analyst Michael Kofman has published an essay following his latest visit to Ukraine, reporting on the situation at the front.
There is little new information, except yet another confirmation that many frontline positions are now held by just two or three Ukrainian soldiers, with large gaps between them.
The “large gaps” Kofman describes are stretches of the frontline measured in kilometres.
Ukrainians are well aware of this, but another outside observer’s testimony still adds weight to the overall picture.
These empty kilometres are where Russian soldiers slip through — sometimes in ones or twos.
Drop by drop: you can’t kill everyone, someone gets through, and then they accumulate.
The result is a situation where two or three Ukrainian soldiers might be holding a position, while behind them, further in the rear, a few dozen Russian soldiers have already accumulated.
This is what people mean when they report that “50 soldiers infiltrated” somewhere.
It’s not that all 50 slipped through at once — they seeped in drop by drop.
Ukrainian forces try to monitor these vast empty spaces with drones, but technology can never fully replace human eyes. There will always be blind spots, and weather — fog, rain, and so on — plays its part.
And then there is the issue of scale: just as a modern tank-barn is no longer destroyed by two or three drones but instead by thirty to fifty (yet still destroyed), an empty gap kilometres long is not infiltrated by two or three soldiers, or twenty or thirty, or even a hundred, but perhaps by three hundred creeping in drop by drop.
Most of those three hundred will eventually be taken out by drones, but dozens will accumulate and gain a foothold.
The ideas of an “impenetrable drone wall,” an “unbreachable front,” or an “absolutely lethal kill-zone” are myths that have nothing to do with reality.
There is an old military axiom, drilled into cadets from their first training days: every defensive line can be breached — and drones do not change that.
Here is one real-world example from summer 2022, which I know personally: seven Territorial Defense soldiers (essentially light infantry) holding a stretch of the line.
To their left, 1.5 kilometres away, was a fortified position with about 30 troops. To their right, 700–800 metres away, another position with around 15 soldiers.
The mission of those seven men — almost a full squad — was to observe the river (and on their own initiative, they heavily mined the riverbanks as well).
And this was not even a major sector — far from the hottest part of the front.
Over the years the situation has worsened, and now even on the hottest sectors there simply aren’t enough troops — not because Ukraine has run out of people (as Russian psyops claim), but because one part of society was never mobilised, and another part deserted.
We are talking about hundreds of thousands of people — and that’s only men.
It’s not my place to judge why this happened, but the battlefield does not tolerate emptiness: if there are no friendly soldiers somewhere, enemy soldiers will inevitably come.
No drones or robots can fix that — they can raise the cost for the enemy, but as long as the enemy is willing to pay that cost and trade lives for territory, they will keep advancing.
The way out is mobilisation and combating desertion. History provides many examples — often in far worse conditions — and the solutions are well known.
This is not a matter of choice. There is no alternative. The alternative is defeat, loss of sovereignty, and loss of statehood.
Moscow understands this perfectly, which is why it invests enormous resources into sabotaging mobilisation and increasing desertion in Ukraine.

Over 100,000 participants engaged in real-time conversations, deliberating on leadership and governance issues. This digital #mobilization ultimately led to the nomination of Sushila Karki, a former chief justice, as the interim prime minister, a pivotal moment in the nation’s democratic history.
Mobilisation for a war abroad is extremely unpopular in #Russia. So Russia starts a #mobilization without calling it mobilization.
Officially it’s not a war, there is no mobilization, but the meatgrinder continues.
Unfortunately Russian people don’t revolt until they lose a war. I guess it’ll be another million casualties before they finally pull their heads out of their empire-loving asses for a second again?
Glory to #Ukraine, a beacon of sense in this crazy world
When ICE Came to Our Chicago Neighborhood, We Were Ready to Respond
I was still groggy, drinking my morning tea, when my phone started buzzing with alerts about ICE hitting a corner within walking distance of my home. At first, it was unclear if they had taken a street vendor who was familiar to many of us. Soon, we learned that the vendor was still there, but that two other neighbors had been seized. That series of texts would soon activate a neighborhood.

Europe faces significant risk of major war if Russia starts mobilization
If Putin #launches a new #mobilization in #Russia, it could pose grave threat to #Europe & spark #WorldWar, Zelensky said on Oct. 8.
The president’s warning comes as #Russia steps up #provocations against #NATO countries, including a surge of mysterious #drone #sightings across #Europe that have raised fears of #HybridWarfare.
