Illegal Channel for Draft Dodgers Disrupted in Lviv Region
Authorities in the Lviv region have successfully dismantled an illegal operation that facilitated the escape of draft evaders from Ukraine. Investigators uncovered that a 29-year-old resident of Lviv was manipulating data in the military enlistment system, allowing individuals to leave the country despite the ongoing conflict.
During a search of the suspect’s residence, law enforcement officials seized substantial evidence, including computer equipment that confirmed his illicit activities. The Lviv local now faces serious charges under legislation pertaining to the illegal transportation of individuals across Ukraine’s borders, a crime that carries significant penalties, including imprisonment for a term ranging from five to seven years.
This operation underscores the ongoing challenges faced by Ukrainian authorities in enforcing draft laws and maintaining national defense during these tumultuous times. The investigation continues as officials seek to identify and apprehend others potentially involved in similar illicit activities.
