The SSU has blocked another 3 mobilization evasion schemes in several regions of Ukraine.

The detained suspects include the head of a military registration and enlistment office, the head of a military medical commission in Kharkiv and a department head of an institute in Zakarpattia.

For money, they offered potential conscripts to evade mobilization and travel to the EU using counterfeit documents.

The cost of such ‘services’ ranged from USD 1,000 to 8,000.

In Kharkiv:

Two chiefs have been exposed: the head of a military enlistment office and the head of a military medical commission.

According to the investigation, the latter entered severe diagnoses in the conscripts’ medical records. Her accomplice, a military commissar, certified with his signature the conclusions on unfitness of their ‘clients’ for military service.
