Ukrainian military recruitment officers raided restaurants, bars and a concert hall in Kyiv, checking military registration documents and detaining men who were not in compliance, media and witnesses reported Saturday.
Officers descended on Kyiv’s Palace of Sports venue after a concert Friday night by Ukrainian rock band Okean Elzy. Video footage aired by local media outlets appears to show officers stationed outside the doors of the concert hall intercepting men as they exit. In the footage, officers appear to be forcibly detaining some men.
Checks were also conducted at Goodwine, an upscale shopping center, and Avalon, a popular restaurant.
It is unusual for such raids to take place in the capital, and reflects Ukraine’s dire need for fresh recruits. All Ukrainian men aged 25-60 are eligible for conscription, and men aged 18-60 are not allowed to leave the country.
I love it when people just declare things without bothering to check.

Are those Americans members of the Democratic party and in particular in the house or senate?

So that is 66.8 Billion in 2022, 47.4 Billion in 2023 and 61.3 Billion in 2024. However it is always to little and too late. By the threat Ukraine is facing now, it would need to be stepped up significantly. Note that these are including all money spend in relation to Ukraine/the war. Of the 175 Billion total only 106 Billion are direct military aid.
Also lets compare Ukraine aid per capita to Israel aid per capita. Ukraine had 41 Million people before the start of the Russian invasion. 106 Billion military aid amounts to 2,585 $ per Ukrainian over 2.5 years.

The US has sent 17.9 Billion to Israel over the past year. Israel has a population of 9.3 Million people, of which 7.2 Million are considered “real” Israelis by the ethnostate definition. So that is 2,486 $ per “real” Israeli in one year. If we include the second grade citizen arabs, it amounts to 1.925 $ per Israeli citizen.
One year of Israels onslaught on Gaza and now Lebanon is worth about the same to the US like 2.5 years of Ukraine defending itself against Russias invasion.
If we look at the per GDP aid to Ukraine, the US is way below many European countries, see first source.
When it comes to hiking up the “aid” or “involvement” in Israels attacks on its neighbors Ukraine will suffer grave consequences as the US will reduce its spending. With the US reducing its spending, chance is high that the European countries feel their spending to be hopeless and withdraw aid to Ukraine too, trying to pressure Ukraine into giving up territory to Russia for achieving a truce instead.
Yes, those are American members of the Democratic party. That’s why they are called “Democrats.” Almost none of them are in the house or senate. You didn’t mention those. This is what you said:
The rest of your post is irrelevant to the fact that you said something that you assumed was true because you didn’t bother looking it up and if you had, you’d have found out it wasn’t.
Then let me clarify: the Democratic party politicians and officials in office, who exert the political party of the power.
Who rely on the members of the Democratic party to stay in office? And it’s an election year?
I’d say support for Ukraine is something they’re considering.
