Western Ukraine leads in number of draft dodgers. Ukrainian Defense Ministry releases statistics.
Since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion , territorial recruitment centers (TRCs) have drawn up more than 180 thousand administrative protocols on violators of military registration and filed more than 400 thousand reports of searches for draft dodgers.
This is evidenced by data from the Ministry of Defense, writes NV .
These statistics, according to lawyer Roman Likhachev, demonstrate, in particular, the “throughput capacity of drawing up administrative protocols” by TCC employees.
According to the Ministry of Defense, in 2022, the TCC drew up 55.68 thousand protocols for violating military registration rules (Articles 210, 210-1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses) and damaging military registration documents or losing them through negligence (Article 211). The largest number of them were in Zhytomyr Oblast (almost 4.9 thousand), Kyiv (4.25 thousand), Volyn (4.1 thousand) and Zakarpattia (4 thousand) Oblasts. In total, 49.29 million UAH was collected from violators.
The number of protocols under the specified articles increased significantly during 2023-2024. Over 1.5 years in Ukraine, the TCCs issued 130.1 thousand administrative protocols to violators. The latter paid fines of UAH 150.3 million.
There were more protocols during this period in Lviv (20.5 thousand), Zakarpattia (14.6 thousand) and Dnipropetrovsk (almost 10.2 thousand) regions.
The Ministry of Defense statistics also indicate that in the first year of the full-scale war, the TCC filed about 21.3 thousand statements about criminal offenses against conscripts. Most of them were filed in Lviv Oblast: 15.8 thousand.
At the same time, during 2023-2024, TCCs submitted 20.87 thousand corresponding applications. And again, Lviv region was in the lead - almost 8.6 thousand.
According to lawyer Likhachev, there are currently about 5-6 million people in Ukraine who are fit for military service. If you subtract those who have updated their data and active military personnel, there will still be a fairly large number of potential violators.
"If you fine such a large number of people even just once, it will take tens, if not hundreds of years," the lawyer believes.
The lawyer explains that Ukraine's courts are seriously understaffed. Some of them have been given the task of handling institutions located in occupied territories or in active combat zones. In addition, the courts are "overwhelmed" with cases of military offenses, the lawyer adds. According to him, in order to impose fines on all violators, it would be necessary to increase the staff of both the TCC and the courts. At the same time, this does not mean that fines will not be imposed.
How many Ukrainians are wanted?
According to the Ministry of Defense, in 2022, the TCC filed 100.5 thousand reports on the search for persons evading military service. Of these, 21.6 thousand were in the Ternopil region, almost 15.9 thousand in the Lviv region and 12.3 thousand in the Ivano-Frankivsk region.
In 2023 and the first half of 2024, the TCC submitted three times more messages about the search for draft dodgers - 316 thousand. The top five are Lviv (85.8 thousand), Zakarpattia (54.2 thousand), Ivano-Frankivsk (33.3 thousand), Ternopil (28.7 thousand) and Khmelnytskyi (20.5 thousand) regions.
Let us recall that the representative of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Dmitry Lazutkin explained what to do for those liable for military service who have the status "Wanted" in the application "Reserve+".
