What Awaits Draft-Dodgers After the War Ends: Scenarios for Ukrainians.

Ukraine, recovering after the war, faces the problem of deciding the fate of those citizens who avoided military service during mobilization. This concerns both those who fled abroad and those who hid within the country.

Current Ukrainian legislation does not contain clear guidelines regarding further actions concerning this category of the population. However, there is a growing demand for justice and equality before the law in society.

Experts believe that after the state of martial law is lifted, there may be a review or closure of many administrative and criminal cases related to evasion of mobilization. Additionally, the likelihood of appealing fines and other sanctions will become more relevant due to changes in legal conditions.

Criminal prosecution of draft dodgers is not a priority for the state preparing for reconstruction. Mass accountability could lead to legal issues and accusations of selective justice.

Experts consider that the possibility of creating a social model of responsibility based on moral evaluation is quite real. The main consequences may involve reputational impacts, such as limitations on career advancement, employment challenges, and public perception.

After victory, new social conflicts may arise between veterans and those who avoided participation in the conflict. This will create a new ethical context in which everyone is obliged to bear responsibility for their contribution to victory.

Ukraine is gradually addressing the issue of the 'fate of draft dodgers,' meaning individuals who avoided military service during mobilization during the war. The question of rehabilitation for these citizens and preventing selective justice remains relevant, especially in the context of forming new values in society and its recovery after the conflict ends.
