Seven mobilization evasion schemes exposed in Ukraine, 10 organizers detained

The Security Service of Ukraine, together with the National Police, announced the discovery of seven new schemes for evading mobilization in various regions of the country. As a result of a large-scale special operation, law enforcement officers detained ten organizers who were helping conscripts to illegally avoid service.

This was reported by the press service of the SBU.

According to law enforcement, the exposed dealers offered two main “services” to evaders: forging medical certificates or illegal transportation abroad. The cost of such services ranged from 2 to 12 thousand US dollars.

In the Odessa region , law enforcement officers immediately blocked four channels of illegal exit. Six local residents organized “green corridors” to Transnistria, using various methods of conspiracy. Some of the clients were dressed in military uniforms to disguise themselves among civilians, others were hidden in the trunks of cars. Additionally, a 27-year-old Odessa resident was detained who was making fictitious certificates about serious illnesses on a computer.

In Cherkasy region, law enforcement officers exposed a 50-year-old Telegram channel administrator who was distributing information about the movements of mobile CCC groups, effectively helping evaders avoid checks.

In Bukovina, the SBU military counterintelligence detained two officials of the local CCC. They were driving conscripts to the EU border for money and indicating routes for illegal crossing through forest areas.

In Ternopil, an employee of a utility company was exposed who, thanks to connections in the CCC, “removed” draft evaders from the wanted list, legalizing their evasion of mobilization.

All detainees were charged under the following articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, in particular:

• Part 1 of Article 114-1 (obstruction of the lawful activities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine);
• Part 3 of Article 332 (illegal smuggling of persons across the state border committed by a group of persons);
• Part 3 of Article 369-2 (abuse of influence).

The perpetrators are in custody. They face up to 10 years in prison with confiscation of property.

By the way, in Ukraine, schemes for evading mobilization continue to be exposed. This time, the suspects are the military personnel themselves: two employees of the territorial recruitment center in Bukovina organized a channel for the illegal departure of men abroad.

Recall that law enforcement officers uncovered a large-scale corruption scheme in the Central Medical and Social Expert Commission (MSEC) , where officials, together with doctors, organized the illegal granting of disability groups to men of draft age. Using forged documents, they provided fictitious certificates, issued pensions, and evaded military service.

Earlier, in June, the National Police of Ukraine and the Security Service of Ukraine exposed a powerful criminal group that was selling fake documents and copies of the official mobile applications “Diya” and “Rezerv+”.
