Resistance to recruitment: MENIGES stops military vehicle!
In the western Ukrainian city of Kamjanez-Podilskyj, there was a violent incident when about 100 people blocked an army recruitment vehicle. As Fr.a>, the demonstrators staple the tires of the vehicle after a young man of the military had been dragged. Passers -by hurried to the man to help what the situation escalated. The police and the military had to intervene in order to control the situation, while the district military replacement office of the Chmelnyzkyj area reported signs of organized resistance.
The authority threatened the participants with treason, since their actions were considered attacks on military members during the law. In the past few weeks, reports of similar attacks on employees of the recruitment offices have increased. President Wolodymyr Selenskyj stated that between 25,000 and 27,000 men are collected for military service every month, which further heats up the tensions in society.
resistance to forced recruitment
there is no right to refuse to do the war during the war. Against this background, soldiers demonstrate in Kiev for a fairer handling of rotations and demand that the service can be ended after a certain time. Alona, a affected wife, reports on constant uncertainty: her husband has been fighting since the beginning of the war, while her son asks when his father comes back.
corruption and illegal practices
Anton, a family man, ignored his model and was arrested at a checkpoint where he bought up with a pampering of $ 1,800. Corruption within the army is widespread, and soldiers often have to bribe commanders to get vacation. These circumstances mean that numerous Ukrainians are trying to escape military service, while reports on human dealers who illegally remove the country from the country.
In addition, the UN human rights commissioner (OHCHR) documents arbitrary arrests as part of the compulsory military service in Charkov. Military staff often do not act according to the specified procedures for convening, which leads to arbitrary arrests. An example shows that a man of eight military commissioners were held on his way home and detained in the recruitment office overnight. The legal framework is also tough: in accordance with the Ukrainian Criminal Code, up to three years in prison are threatened to avoid military service.
The current situation in Ukraine remains tense, while both resistance to forced recruitment and the repressive handling of these measures are made in worrying waves.
