During the last few days I noticed a few people demanding that every Ukrainian refugee in Germany who is of able bodied age should be forced back to Ukraine to either fight on the front or work in ammunition factories or hospitals. As far as I can tell no major publication or politician has echoed this sentiment yet. I hope that will stay this way. But the sheer audacity with which these people demanded strangers to be sent to their death is astounding. "Fighting to the last Ukrainian" really is something they want and it sickens me.

I’m in western Canada a and while there are a lot of Ukrainian nationalists and hardcore neolibs here I feel like I hear from them a lot less now than I did a year ago in regards to the conflict. Definitely see far fewer Ukraine flags on cars and what not now.

I very rarely hear the topic come up in normal day to day conversation but when it does typically the consensus is that our country shouldn’t waste money on or get involved in the conflict as there are a lot of problems at home.

Though I think the fervor has died down because it is normal now with what the average person perceives as not much change because the borders are not moving.

They've decided that Ukrainians want or should want a glorious death and any suggestion that they might instead want to live is ridiculed as weakness or dismissed as Russian propaganda. The libs are as bloodthirsty as they've always been, with more or less civility and/or concern trolling depending on the setting.

Edit: I should say that this is mostly in the media. IRL the only thing I really hear in conversation is people asking me when I think the war will end. Otherwise, nobody mentions it unless I bring it up. Which I do when someone starts talking shit about how progressive their politician of the day is (i.e. because almost every politician fits the description in my original paragraph).
