You are apparently unaware that Ukrainian males between the ages of 18 and 60 are not allowed to leave Ukraine.
But, they are leaving!
The border between Poland and Ukraine is 322 miles long. It's monitored by Poland, but obviously, the Poles can' control every mile of it.
There are many Ukrainian men are in Poland now. The Polish Army is training them so they can be back. Not sure how that's going!

Biden will not change the current US nuclear doctrine under pressure from allies
Longstanding US policy allows for first-strike use of nukes in extreme situations
Biden had vowed to change that policy but is now backing down from the plan
Ongoing Nuclear Posture Review will not adopt the new 'sole purpose' doctrine
Nukes can still be used to deter conventional, chemical, or biological attack
President Joe Biden is abandoning a campaign vow to alter longstanding US nuclear doctrine, and will instead embrace existing policy that reserves America's right to use nukes in a first-strike scenario, according to multiple reports.
As Russian forces continue their bloody assault on Ukraine, Biden is under pressure from NATO allies not to abandon the right to use nuclear weapons to deter conventional attacks.
Since the Cold War, American policy has allowed for first-strike use of nuclear weapons under 'extreme circumstances,' such as responding to an invasion by conventional forces, or chemical or biological attacks.

Though the difference in wording may seem slight, Biden's proposed 'sole purpose' doctrine sparked fears among allies from Europe to Japan, who feared that the change in posture would embolden adversaries.
And given Vladimir Putin's latest moves against Ukraine, NATO allies in particular feared that a shift in policy would encourage Russia to launch new conventional attacks or use chemical weapons, knowing that a nuclear response from the US was out of the question.
Russia currently maintains the world's largest nuclear arsenal with 6,257 warheads compared to America's 5,550, according to the Arms Control Association.
I don't think any damage is done. The world got used to the Old Man and ignores when he spoils the air.
I dont think adults took his tri-fecta seriously this last week
1) if the soviets use chemical weapons, we will use them on them
2) told american soldiers they will be soon in ukraine
3) and the above
But for someone who acts like a petulant 8 year old and embraces false flags as canon, (aka pretty much most soviet leaders and ESPECIALLY Putin) in order to espouse indignant justification....these were catastrophic diplomatically.

Putin has waited for 8 years before starting that war. Do you call it spontaneous?
Truth to be told - I think Putin is quite content with who is in charge of Ukraine now (i.e. Zelensky.)
He knows how the Russian public perceives him ( Zelensky that is) and this is playing straight in his ( Putin's) hands.
Yeah, he totally meant to elevate Zelensky from obscure backwater politician to international symbol of rugged determination. Are you aware of the Sharpshooter Fallacy?

I already explained before that Russians perceive things differently, because the level of their knowledge is DIFFERENT when it comes to Ukraine ( even for a reason that they have relatives there, plus they share the common language and culture with Ukraine.)
So while the "international community" can make out of Zelensky whatever it wishes, Russians know better what this is all about, that Zelensky is no "politician" to begin with, even of the "backwater" status.
"They're pretty obscure. You've probably never heard of them."
You could hear about one of them.
(May be, because this particular person resides in EU.)
You definitely haven't heard about the rest of them, but I suspect that some of them might be the rising stars either in Russian/Ukrainian media or even in politics.
Things are still in development, and the new figures are coming onto the public stage.
