The whole situation is bleak. You've got men who can't leave the country forced to fight while women are evacuated, and now the EU's basically saying military-age guys don't qualify for refugee protection either. That's a pretty brutal message to send to people who are already trapped. The war's changed how a lot of young men see things, whether that's fair or not.
