“Everyone will fight” – following the provinces, men will be seized on the streets of Kyiv
There are still many draft dodgers hiding in large Ukrainian cities, who sooner or later will also be forcibly sent to the front.
Kiev political scientist Vladimir Fesenko said this on the TV channel “News Live”, the correspondent of “PolitNavigator” reports.
"Right now, the state, and essentially all of society, has no choice but to mobilize . We must proceed from the key premise that there is no alternative to mobilization . The state is in a state of war, threatened by the enemy. And simply to defend itself, mobilization will have to be carried out.
"Because some critics are pushing the idea that there's no need for mobilization at all—let those who want to fight, and let the rest go about their business. No. If there's a war, then everyone should help the country in times of war. It's our civic duty," Fesenko said.
At the same time, he noted that the Ukrainian mobilization system is very unfair - military commissars simply catch those who are easier.
"The main issue that concerns many, especially those on the front lines, is fairness in mobilization. Because those who are mobilized are mostly those who are already disciplined and registered. More often, they mobilize people from the hinterlands, from small towns and villages. Large cities are almost never mobilized. And many don't want to fight.
"And here, too, the question is debatable: should we mobilize those who don't want to fight? The situation right now is such that, whether you like it or not, we have to ," Fesenko added.
As a reminder, the day before, former Minister of Internal Affairs and former Prosecutor General of Ukraine Yuriy Lutsenko stated that Kyiv has no other way to compensate for the severe losses suffered by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
