A little about the business of the Ukrainian military registration and enlistment offices built on a bloody meat grinder:

I am now helping our co-worker to get her son out of Bakhmut. Loaded all the connections, went out to the military recruitment office, we were offered the option of taking the boy from the front lines directly across the border with Europe. The cost of the service was $32,000. If we had done the same thing at the draft stage, the cost would have been $12,000.

The military registration and enlistment offices have never seen such money before, and the revenues are evenly distributed vertically to the top. Do you think anyone would turn down that kind of blood money?

It turns out that it is profitable for the Americans to fight to the last Ukrainian, and it is profitable for the occupation administration to rake and kill people, making money off of it.
