1) I'm unsure as to the intended spelling.

Ukraine’s Draft Dodgers Face Guilt, Shame and Reproach - The New York Times

Ugh, what an awful article... The whole time they never make clear something really important: Ukraine doesn't need to conscript people to fight. They're actually turning away combat volunteers because they have far more than needed. Failing to make that clear is downright fraudulent. Especially for a US audience whose experience with conscription most recently includes Vietnam.

“Local officials say the increased military deployment is reassuring, but say they worry it could make Rzeszow a target. Polish farmers are putting land up for sale, nervous their property is too close to the front line.”
An underappreciated way to support the war effort could be to help Polish residents near the border move temporarily. Even something as simple as a free vacation.

“In one of the [combat] patrols I was in an amazing condo — you could have the same one in Toronto. There was an espresso machine,”
“It’s like fighting in downtown Toronto.”
“The largest of [the suspended parties] is the Opposition Platform for Life, which has 44 out of 450 seats in the country’s parliament. The party is led by Viktor Medvedchuk, who has friendly ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is the godfather of Medvedchuk’s daughter.”
Yeah, that sounds like a problem...

While Canada was _still_ closing restaurants for covid two years into the pandemic, Ukraine is re-opening restaurants and cafes in the middle of a vicious war, as soon as the front line moves back.
More importantly, top Ukrainian politicians are also officially urging schools to reopen whenever possible to give kids a sense of normality: https://www.instagram.com/tv/Ca__nC8lWHt/
Yeah, Expedia, I think travel to Ukraine is a little worse than "unstable"... An entire hotel got blown up a few days ago in Chernihiv...

No, the United States wasn't funding bioweapons research in Ukraine; this was part of a long-running effort to pay off ex-Soviet scientists so they wouldn't take their talents to South Tehran"
Good read.
