People always resisted conscription, but as long as you have the support of the police & army, it's very easy to force them, especially when it's a defensive war and there will always be a big % of people who will support any action as long as it's in defense of the homeland.
The amount of videos shows that it's not some mass campaign to catch men, but rather going after individual guys to remind everyone that draft dodging has consequences, obviously they can't just ignore draft dodgers. I've never seen any proof that anyone is actually getting shipped to the frontline against their will, rather than it working like in every civilized country - refusal to serve resulting in a jail time.
More people are volunteers than not. Casualty rate in this war is not really high compared to past conflicts, I would guess more than half of the current Ukrainian army are still soldiers enlisted pre-war + the first massive wave of volunteers after the invasion. Most new recruits come from conscription, so I wouldn't call them "volunteers", but most of them still probably come do their patriotic duty willingly when they get the notice. Draft dodgers caught in the streets, even if we assume they're indeed just forced to the front, rather than landing in jail, would be an EXTREMELY small %.
The soldier is to young to be conscripted in Ukraine and the face has been identified as being a russian from st. pete....
The only way Russia can realistically win this war before their economy collapses completely, is by convincing the western public that it's over for Ukraine and making them switch from "hell yeah fu*ck Russia, no step back!" to eg. "Ukraine needs ceasefire NOW at whatever terms, because it's only going to get worse" .
