I think it’s asking awful lot of any civilians to do that but civilians who may have no link to the Ukraine other than employment or study shouldn’t be “ conscripted”.

True, but they may not be being conscripted? They may just be quite far down the pecking order of evacuation as able-bodied men.

Sadly this is a war.

The Ukrainian government's priority is the protection of its land and citizens.

Foreigners don't have to fight if they don't want to - but they are the responsibility of their respective governments.

Absolutely, shouldn’t be prevented from leaving though. No problem with them being behind women and children as priority but shouldn’t be stopped from leaving.

Russian propaganda? Merely sharing Racism and highlighting that’s it’s bad. Just ignore it if you like that’s your choice. It’s still bad to see no matter what is happening. Would it be so difficult to just let everyone get to safety? No.

If they've just been stopped from getting on a train and have to wait for one where women and children aren't on, sad as it is, I'm ok with that.

Older brother of A mate of my dad went to the Spanish civil war to fight. Didn’t come back sadly but I’ve always admired his bravery.

Full respect to anyone who makes the trip. It’s in the UK’s interest for Ukraine to win this. A blatant attack on democracy and freedom in the world.

Suppose that's what happens when you get into a ground war on somebody's home turf.
