Having enough trained personnel to rotate regularly makes the armed forces more effective. It is better for the morale and reduces casualties.
Recuperate, refresh, retrain.
The fairness is also very important for morale. When everyone shares the same duty. If your president’s son or daughter, your boss at work, all can be conscripted just the same as you and if in the system you are equal.
That is the difference of the Russian way to Russia’s neighbours who have been able to resist it. (a Finn here)
Sons and daughters or the better off leaving the ship is not how you build resilience. No. We have to be in the same boat for the society to work and our culture to prevail.
Russia sends their unwanted to the war while we send our best. We value all life while they don’t and that’s how we win or atleast retain our indepence.

I humbly suggest that if they don’t come back then they lose their ability to return after the war. If they don’t help save their country then they shouldn’t be part of the glorious future.

I do believe that it maybe time to also draft women, especially if fairness is valued as highly

A lot of BOTS in the comments, be careful with their astroturfing and concern trolling.

I am not against these men staying as refugees, but I dislike seeing Ukrainian men traveling around the world for vacations – which cost a lot of money – or buying homes and new cars, while their countrymen are dying in the trenches, where they should be as well.
They should instead donate their extra income to support their soldiers in purchasing equipment and contribute to defending their country in that way.

Does this mean that the kids of several verkhovna rada, mayors and businessmen are going to serve in the AFU?

A very controversial topic. I would have left my country in the past, but probably not anymore. The crucial difference for me is the purpose. I want to know very precisely for whom I am risking my life. Yes, protecting my family, saving my homeland, blah blah. These are all just political propaganda arguments. The reality is the political and military leadership of my country. These are the very people who ultimately decide my fate. If my leadership (even in their private lives!) leads by example, I am more willing to take these risks. I have spoken with several men who have fled and asked them directly. The answer was almost always the same: I will not risk my life for corrupt officials and “butcher” officers. Ukraine has improved, but there is still a long way to go. Trust and a good offer (deployment where my skills are needed) are the basis for returning.

Speaks of fairness when half of the country does not have to be mutilated in the war just because they where born with hole between their legs.

Hard to argue against.
