Looks like thousands of Ukrainians have been capture, enslaved and sold off to the slave markets all over Russia. That fate could befall sinkies if they keep whining about National Service.

LVIV: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Russia's siege of the port city of Mariupol was "a terror that will be remembered for centuries to come", while local authorities said that thousands of residents there had been taken by force across the border.
"Over the past week, several thousand Mariupol residents were deported onto the Russian territory," the city council said in a statement on its Telegram channel late on Saturday (Mar 19).
Russian news agencies have said buses have carried several hundred people Moscow calls refugees from Mariupol to Russia in recent days.
The council also said Russian forces bombed a Mariupol art school on Saturday in which 400 residents had taken shelter, but the number of casualties was not yet known.
Reuters could not independently verify the claims. Russia denies targetting civilians.
Many of Mariupol's 400,000 residents have been trapped for more than two weeks as Russia seeks to take control of the city, which would help secure a land corridor to the Crimea peninsula that Moscow annexed from Ukraine in 2014.
President Vladimir Putin calls the assault on Ukraine, which began on Feb 24, a "special operation" aimed at demilitarising the country and rooting out people he terms dangerous nationalists.
