I've met a few Ukrainian men in Canada that bribed border officers in order to leave Ukraine. I have mixed feelings about it. They would probably be useless at the front line, since they have zero motivation to fight. On one hand, i can't respect their choice. On the other hand, i understand their desire not to die. If i was in their shoes, who knows, maybe i would've turned out to be a pussy too. Or maybe not. I am rather unpredictable in a sense that i always find out who i am when i face a difficult choice/situation and i can never know ahead what exactly i am going to do.

I think that's true for most people.

Everyone's situation is different. We all like to think we'd stand and fight if this happened in our country, but we can't know that for sure.

Also at the beginning of the war it was Ukraine against what was assumed to be the #2 superpower of the world, and Ukraine's allies were anticipating it to be overrun in just a few days, so there wasn't really the morale at that point.
Unless of course they bribed the border guards recently.

I had two dudes deliver cabinets that claimed they were from Ukraine, I suspect they were Russian and didn't want to admit it. But that was very early on in the war.
