It’s not a topic people here care to discuss much, wary of feeding Russian propaganda.
But the latest National Police Service report recorded more than 600 assaults on recruitment officers to date and warned that the aggression has become “increasingly threatening”.
The first big alert came in April when several recruiters were stabbed, one fatally. Then this month in Lviv, some 200 protesters surrounded officers attempting to detain a suspected draft dodger and smashed and overturned their car.
The riot made headlines as President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned violence against serving soldiers.
Get out of here with that Russian propaganda.
This is just the same thing that happens with every country that has conscripted military service during a war. Even a war where you’re defending your own home.
Some people will drag their feet. Some people are staunch pacifists, some people are afraid, etc.
“Russian propaganda” is just on the ground reality free of Westoid narratives
Lemmy instance checks out.
