Ukraine Mobilization Against Rebels Faces Widespread Draft Evasion

Ukraine’s latest round of mobilisation of army reserves faces massive draft-dodging, as the conflict in East Ukraine with Russian-backed rebels becomes increasingly bloody and protracted.

Given escalating fighting in East Ukraine, the Ukrainian defence ministry on January 20 lauched its fourth wave of mobilisation of the country’s reservists since its “anti-terrorist campaign” started in April 2014. The army reserves comprise men who have undergone one year of mandatory national military service.

On January 26, the defence ministry said a total of just under 62,000 reservists had already received their draft papers in the new wave, half of the overall target number. Draft-dodging in Ukraine can be punished by up to three years in jail.

      The oligarchy is having difficulties recruiting MURDERERS that will do their bidding.. if the government of Ukraine is so hell bent on a war.. why aren’t the elected officials leading the fight themselves?? nothing is stopping them from fighting, bleeding and DYING for their beliefs/agenda’s, right?? Ohhh silly me, people who start wars don’t actually want to fight, bleed and die in the wars they foment!
