I’m not going to shift into armchair general/geopolitical master mode because I am not qualified but you’ve used a Gallup poll from the previous government to try and make a point about the current government, which at its most generous is a silly and careless mistake and at worst is an act of deliberate stupidity and deception.

I don’t quite know what to say about the rest of your comment relating to the desire of ukranians to be in this fight but it would appear most of both unofficial (ie social media, crowd sourced) and official western reports are completely at odds with the case you’re trying to make

Yeah the current government seems quite popular "Zelensky won the second round with 73.22% of the votes"

I imagine that's one of the things Putin is worried about.

> In fact, the regime is currently stopping men from fleeing and trying to force them to fight for them at gunpoint.

That always happens when a country fights for its survival. Universal and compulsory conscription. If this is not the moment to resort to this, then when is?

Are you Russian by any chance? The confidence number you pulled out was (ostensibly) for the previous government at the end of its term. The next (current) President got the support of 73% of Ukrainians: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Ukrainian_presidential_...

In every war where there is conscript you will have scared men running or hiding. It is natural, and not particular to the approval rating of their (current) governing officials. Your comment honestly sounds more like propaganda than the parent's.
