This is just a bad video game understanding of history and it doesn't work in the modern world and total war.Bwahahaha. This must be a new record on the forum for someone showing astonishing levels of historical ignorance. Open a history book once in a while. The German army absorbed a lot of people from conquered areas during WW2. Eastern European, French, even Dutch soldiers in the Wehrmacht carried them on for years. They may not have fought as hard as the Germans who drank the cool aid but it has happened as long as man has existed. Roman armies almost immediately after conquering areas absorbed auxiliary troops from the conquered territory. Alexander the great was so brilliant at it the troops not only fought for him but loved him as their conqueror. He was just that charismatic. Even if they could not trust the people to fight them they sure taxed them and took their stuff for the war effort. It is as old as time. Russia knows how to use propaganda to brainwash supporters, and how to use the rest as cannon fodder. The longer the world kicks this can down the road the harder it will be to stop Putin.
The Ukrainian men that want fight are fighting against Russia a tiny fraction will just fight for money and maybe flip.
There's no men left that will willingly fight for Russia against Europe. Those guys have already fled to Europe or Dubai to avoid conscription.
Things were a little bit different in the time of Alexander the great.
