    That's a point, maybe trying to impress the neighbours?

    Ukraine: Russia plans biggest war in Europe since 1945 - Boris Johnson
    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-60448162

    Evidence suggests Russia is planning "the biggest war in Europe since 1945", Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said.

    He told the BBC's Sophie Raworth in an interview: "All the signs are that the plan has already in some senses begun."

    Intelligence suggests Russia intends to launch an invasion that will encircle Ukrainian capital Kyiv, Mr Johnson said.

    "People need to understand the sheer cost in human life that could entail," he said.

    The prime minister was speaking from Munich, where world leaders are meeting for an annual security conference.

    The latest estimates by the US government suggests the number of Russian troops now stationed along Ukraine's border, both in Russia and neighbouring Belarus, is between 169,000 and 190,000.

    Western officials have warned in recent weeks that Russia could be preparing to invade at any time, but Russia has denied the claims, saying troops are conducting military exercises in the region.

    Asked whether a Russian invasion is still thought to be imminent, Mr Johnson said: "I'm afraid that that is what the evidence points to, there's no burnishing it.

    "The fact is that all the signs are that the plan has already in some senses begun."

    Mr Johnson was speaking after meeting with Western leaders and the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The full interview will be broadcast on BBC One's Sunday Morning programme at 09:00 GMT.

    Which is a much better response than Biden who says "it will happen."

    Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelenskyy[a] (Ukrainian: Володимир Олександрович Зеленський, pronounced [woloˈdɪmɪr olekˈsɑndrowɪdʒ zeˈlɛnʲsʲkɪj]; born 25 January 1978) is a Ukrainian politician, actor and comedian who is the 6th and current president of Ukraine, serving since May 2019.

    Another politician voted into government by the sheeple who love media actors.
    Another dotard?

    Service age men forbidden to leave LNR
    The decree of the self-proclaimed LNR leader Leonid Pasechnik on general mobilization states that men of 18-55 years are not allowed to leave the district’s territory.

    The decree also states that all men from 18 to 55 years of age who are on the military register or not but are required to be, and those in reserve must be called up for military service.

    Pushilin’s decree on mobilization in the DNR does not contain a clause prohibiting men from leaving. On February 18, Pushilin said that men could travel outside the DNR while driving a car to evacuate their families.

    Meanwhile, Russia is introducing an emergency state in the Rostov region, where refugees are from the LDNR.

    About 100,000 evacuees from the Donbas are already at the border with the Rostov region.

    Pushilin cited an “immediate threat of aggression” from Ukrainian forces, accusations that Ukrainian officials vehemently denied earlier.

    “I appeal to all the men in the republic who can hold weapons to defend their families, their children, wives, mothers,” Pushilin said. “Together we will achieve the coveted victory that we all need.”

    2 Conscientious objection


    There is no legal provision for conscientious objection for professional soldiers. [1]

    Under the Defence Act the right to conscientious objection is legally recognized in war time. The provisions for conscientious objection only apply for conscripts and would thus not apply for professional soldiers. [1]

    Conscientious objection is defined as follows in sect. 4(3): "(...) a person is taken to have a conscientious belief in relation to a matter if the person's belief in respect of that matter:

    (a) involves a fundamental conviction of what is morally right and morally wrong, whether or not based on religious considerations; and
