What we know about video of man walking his dog being forced into van to serve in Ukraine military (March 4, 2025)
www.yahoo.com
... A video circulating online in early March 2025 allegedly showed Ukrainian military officials forcing a man walking his dog into a van to serve in the Russia-Ukraine conflict and abandoning his pet in the street. The clip, possibly obtained from home security footage, displayed a date of Feb. 28 and a time of just before 8 a.m.

The post also said one of the officials visible in the video accompanied the man's dog back to its owner's home, and that, due to the man's love of his pet, they assigned him to one of the military's canine units. The post provided no further information or evidence to support its claims, and the center had not yet respond to an emailed request for comment sent in the evening hours of March 4. ...
Yes, tiny Ukraine is fighting for its freedom against the huge Russia.
And, yes, manpower is an issue in that fight.
So, is that a reason why Pres Trump should just surrender Ukraine to Pres Putin?
