In a series of attempts to avoid military conscription amid ongoing conflict, dozens of Ukrainian men have been caught trying to flee the country. Ukrainian border guards apprehended 34 men of conscription age as they attempted to cross into Romania, each reportedly paying €10,000 for the chance to escape what has been described as 'the meat grinder'. Another individual, equipped with a wetsuit and thermal bag, was caught attempting to swim across the Turunchuk and Dniester rivers into Moldova. These incidents highlight the desperate measures some are taking to avoid conscription, amidst reports of a significant shortage of troops and increasing pressure on the Ukrainian military. The situation has sparked a debate on the ethics of desertion and the broader implications of the ongoing war.

Ukrainian men living abroad feel conflicted about returning home as war rages on with shortage of troops https://t.co/aa1bw0Pfla
The Ukrainian men who couldn’t afford to leave when the war began (some 650,000 or more) are being rounded up like stray dogs and sent to die. The ones who left are being hunted down as well. Anyone telling you that Ukrainians support the war is a fraud and demon.
A Ukrainian wearing a mask and robe attempted to flee to Moldova. The draft dodger planned to swim across the Turunchuk River and then the Dniester, equipped with a wetsuit and a thermal bag containing gear. Well, the fugitive was apprehended by the State Border Guard Service… https://t.co/jRw2bgRmiF https://t.co/lpH2zn6ijH
If you find yourself sending women to fight in the front lines that’s a good indication that you’ve already lost. Zelensky needs to seek peace. Immediately. https://t.co/IFlyYnNlbc
Before people who have never been in a fight accuse these men of desertion, it’s worth remembering that the President of Ukraine was ready to make a deal to end the war until we blackmailed him into continuing it. https://t.co/utPOtMtznN
Ukrainian border guards caught 34 men of conscription age attempting to flee from Ukraine. Each of them paid €10,000 to escape the meat grinder. Ukraine is now the largest prison state in the world. https://t.co/UeKmotdNKz
UKRAINIANS FLEE THE COUNTRY SO THEY ARE NOT CONSCRIPTED https://t.co/w4kBD7hZSb
Ukrainian military conscription is next level. All these men paid to cross the border into Romania but were caught. Now they’ll be sent into the meat grinder. https://t.co/rFQQvrpZT1
