DBR revealed the scheme of conscripts’ escape: a recruitment instructor was detained.

According to inkorr.com: The State Bureau of Investigation has completed the case against a recruitment instructor at the Mukachevo Military Registration and Enlistment Center, who is suspected of abuses during the performance of his official duties. The investigation established that he took money for helping conscripts escape from the recruitment center, as well as for military personnel who were sent back to service after being in combat zones.

'Men arriving for mobilization, but unwilling to serve, he secretly led out beyond the institution. The cost of this service was 3-4 thousand US dollars, which came from relatives or acquaintances of the military conscripts. For 4-5 thousand US dollars, he also 'helped' the military who had just returned from the combat zone to escape again from the reserve battalion. Even during personal conversations with the soldiers, he encouraged them to re-escape. The subject promised 'clients' that he would show the way to exit the military unit bypassing patrols. There, his acquaintance was supposed to wait for the fugitives, who would be transported in his private car to a safe place.'

Thanks to his actions, at least five servicemen left their places of service. The instructor was detained in February 2025 while receiving 10 thousand US dollars for helping two soldiers avoid service. An indictment has already been sent to court. He is accused of obstructing the lawful activities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other military formations during a special period, according to part 1 of Article 114-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, which provides for up to 8 years of imprisonment.

The investigation continues in the Ukrainian law enforcement agencies, which has already led to serious consequences for the subject accused of interfering with military service by illegally removing servicemen from the recruitment center. The situation emphasizes the importance of combating corruption in the military sphere and the necessity of upholding legality during conscription to service.
