Now that I've given it some thought, I wonder if this video might be staged. If it were my friend or son, I wouldn't hesitate for a second and would do everything in my power to hold onto him with both hands. That seems much more realistic to me. In that situation, I wouldn't even consider the idea of filming. What do you think? (I don't doubt that forced recruitments happen.) However, after reflecting on it, I now have my doubts about the authenticity of this video.

Hello nostr:nprofile1qqs04yxqjhrweg0a8qfmav70kp2gxm86y97ef8ff4zf66gzjxy379tqpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmqpramhxue69uhkummnw3ezuetfde6kuer6wasku7nfvuh8xurpvdjsxlw4yp, I don't think it's a staged video. I've seen dozens of them but never wanted to post them. Here what motivated me is that it comes directly from the former Ukrainian Prime Minister. I apologize if this video bothered you.
It doesn’t bother me at all. I just try to stay critical about everything I see online. If something really hits it‘s propably intended to do so. And it did - like you can see on my first and natural reaction.
But after some reflection I came to the conclusion that to hold on with both hands would be a natural reaction too.
Filming isn’t.
And that the former prime minister did change his stance on the conflict is well known.
We also know that Zelensky has decided to requisition all adult males of fighting age, and I imagine that there are some holdouts among them, which is to be expected.
⚡️MARCH 2024: The Ukrainian authorities have arrested 34 civilians of conscription age who wanted to flee Ukraine and therefore the front.
Some have even compiled a list of civilian arrests by Ukrainian recruitment officers.
Once again, let's remain vigilant with information on the internet, as nothing is certain since we are not on the spot.
When it was not filmed just imagine what people like you would have thought.. something like "Without a video there is no proof"what would be the outcome of holding on? He would have been taken either way. It was to many against to few.
I cannot speak for others but I don’t need any proof at all to have empathy or to know that war is the most inhumane of human experiences, leading to tragic outcomes regardless of the circumstances and for anyone involved.
