It has dawned finally on Z that there is something very wrong with the system of military draft deferrments, what we have referred in recent posts to as the billion-dollar forced military conscription evasion scheme.
Ukraine’s supreme commander-in-chief says he is aware of the problem. He can discuss solutions with Lloyd, who arrived this morning in Kyiv.
Lloyd has received the brief about draft-dodging regional public officials who arranged for themselves fake, inflated pensions and government-sponsored sweetheart deals for pumping gas to Hungary and Slovakia across Ukraine. He is also aware of shady lithium and titanium ore concessions to Azerbaijani biznezmen.
With only a couple of weeks before the 2024 US Presidential Election, the last thing we want are unflattering media reports about Ukraine’s official incompetence and malfeasance.

From the moment of entry into force of the changes related to the mobilization policy as a whole, in accordance with the Law of Ukraine "On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine Regarding Certain Issues of Military Service, Mobilization and Military Registration," a number of significant changes were made that relate to the procedure for recruiting citizens for military service during mobilization, for a special period specified by Resolution No. 560 of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated May 16, 2024.
Despite the broad information and educational campaign carried out by the state in terms of explaining mobilization measures, cases of the spread of distorted and unverified information, which is aimed at inciting and destabilizing the socio-political situation in the middle of the country, inciting social sentiments among the population, and as a result of disruption of the mobilization of Ukrainian citizens to the ranks of the Defense Forces of Ukraine.
We would like to remind you that any distortions and manipulative interpretations of the requirements of the current legislation of Ukraine regarding mobilization measures or distribution of false (compromising) information aimed at undermining the security measures of the state as a whole, providing any evaluation judgments without clear reasoning and reliable facts and their dissemination through various channels (especially Internet media) with a selfish purpose (intention) serve only one with the sole purpose of undermining public trust in state institutions and the Defense Forces of Ukraine as a whole.
Note that the Law of Ukraine dated April 8, 2014 No. 1183-VII "On Amendments to the Criminal Code of Ukraine," Chapter 1 of the special part "Crimes against the foundations of the national security of Ukraine," is supplemented by Article 114-1 "Hindering the lawful activities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other military formations."
According to it, the competent authorities can initiate criminal proceedings against such persons in order to protect the legitimate activities of the Defense Forces of Ukraine and the safety of citizens, which is the most important task of all components of the security and defense sector of Ukraine.
Speculative actions in the information space, which consist of direct accusations of allegedly illegal actions by representatives of territorial centers of recruitment and social support, will be checked by law enforcement agencies within the limits of their powers and competencies.
At the same time, all existing violations on the part of the Territorial Center of Recruitment and Social Support themselves do not remain without proper assessment and control by the command of the Ground Forces. Each case is given a proper legal assessment with all the sanctions provided for by the current legislation of Ukraine.
Also, we should note that in all regional centers of Ukraine, without exception, effective interaction of regional territorial and social support centers with representatives of the Commissioner of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine for human rights has been established.
The Command of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine once again calls on citizens of Ukraine, media of all forms of ownership and affiliation, internet bloggers to use exclusively official and verified information. All, without exception, the communication structural units of the Operational Commands, parts and units of the Ground Forces, regional territorial and social support centers, are working and will work 24/7 for the sake of proper information support and feedback and for our common Victory.
Only by joint efforts and conscious actions can we overcome the enemy.
Our strength is in unity!
