Isn't umm fighting against invasion is required by law for most countries?

Weird way to justify people being forced to fight into something they clearly don't believe in or have any interest defending.

Let's not forget that most countries also have constitutions. The citizens constitutional rights cannot be overshadowed by draft. Therefore forcible totalitarian draft is not legal. Here it's problematic because sovereign legal institutions are non existent in Ukraine and lets admit that in many states legal institutions would crumble when defending citizens rights against violent governments.
