 A Year Into War, Ukraine Faces Challenges Mobilizing Troops

 2023.03.23

 “We can’t do as Russia does and drive people to war with
batons,” President Volodymyr Zelensky told reporters in February,
three days after he renewed a decree on mobilization that makes
reservists and most healthy men of fighting age eligible for call-up,
in place since the war started.

 He said evasion of military service was a serious issue for Ukraine.

 Ukraine had a standing army of 260,000 when Russia invaded, and
around 100,000 have been killed or wounded since then, according to
Western estimates.

 Alongside the recruitment campaigns, Ukraine is increasingly relying
on enlistment officers in military uniform handing out summonses in
public spaces. The Security Service of Ukraine, the country’s domestic
security and intelligence agency, said this month that it had closed
down 26 Telegram channels that had been posting the locations and
times where they were active.

 There have been public scandals involving inappropriate call-ups
and videos appearing to show men being roughed up by enlistment
officers for refusing a summons. A disabled person was drafted in
western Ukraine and pronounced fit for service despite having no
hands. Another died on the front lines within a month of mobilization
after 10 days of training, according to his relatives.

 A 37-year-old native of Kyiv left Ukraine in February after paying
close to $10,000 for three different schemes. He had owned a small
business selling car parts in the Ukrainian capital but said it fell
apart when the war started.

 A friend had a contact at a draft office, and the businessman paid
the contact $3,000 for documents listing him as unfit for service.
 The contact took his money and stopped answering his calls, he said.

 In the end, he acquired a document listing him as a volunteer
aid worker, traveled to the Polish border at night and spent an hour
convincing a guard that he wasn’t trying to flee before finally being
allowed to enter Poland.

 “For the first time in a year I felt free, like my life again belonged
to me,” he said in a phone interview from Canada, where he is
building a new life with his wife.
