Poll: most Ukrainians won't defend Ukraine | Eastern NC Now

Ukrainians won't defend their own country

ENCNow

That poll in Ukraine shows only 33% would "put up an armed resistance" to a Russian armed intervention in their settlement." 

21% would "resist by participating in civil resistance actions -- such as demonstrations, protests, marches, boycotts, strikes, civil disobedience."

24% would leave either to another country or another area in Ukraine.

Nearly 19% would do nothing.

Good article and on the ground report - "Ukrainian civilians do not want war but are ready to fight". thedispatch.com

Your headline should read "Most of military age Ukrainian men would take up arms to defend their country". First, the adult population is about half women, actually usually somewhat more than half. While a few women may take up arms, in a traditional country like Ukraine that would mostly be left to the men. So, now we have 33/50 or 66% of men willing to take up arms to defend Ukraine. Then, the age factor has to be taken into account. Military age is generally considered, and this may be stretching it a bit, ages 18 to 40. So that 33% would now embrace virtually all of the military age men and also add some middle aged men as well. Given that, 33% is an impressive number, not to be sneezed at.

I hope this Putin aggression can be resolved short of war, but it reeks of Stalin and Hitler's aggression in 1939 against Poland and the Baltic states. Incidentally, the western third of Ukraine was then part of Poland. Stalin annexed it in his deal with Hitler in 1939 and the western allies failed to make him give it back to Poland in 1945. That Ukrainian territory never belonged to Russia prior to World Are II. In medieval times, it was part of the Kingdom of Poland up until the late 1700s, when it became part of the Austrian Empire until 1918 when it joined the new Republic of Poland.

When one considers that only 3% of Americans fought for our independence in the Revolutionary War, that poll shows eleven times as many Ukrainians willing to take up arms to defend their country. One also considers demographics, and when you take out women and old men, that 33% represents a huge portion of their able bodied military age men.
