SBU and National Police exposed another 7 schemes to evade military service and mobilization in various regions of Ukraine
The Security Service, together with the National Police, blocked seven new schemes to evade military service and mobilization and detained 18 organizers of the schemes in various oblasts of Ukraine.
🔹 Thus, in Zhytomyr region four organizers of a large-scale scheme to evade conscription using non-existent oncological diseases were exposed.
It was established that for 15 thousand US dollars a local realtor recruited “clients,” and her accomplices — the head of a department and a doctor at the oncology dispensary, as well as an employee of the Primary Care Center — simulated surgical procedures and used biological material from real patients to issue fake certificates of severe diagnoses for draft evaders.
This provided grounds for those liable for military service to obtain a fake disability group and thus avoid conscription.
The investigation found that almost fifty conscription-liable men used this “service.”
🔹 In Odesa region, SBU military counterintelligence detained three operators of a scheme to illegally discharge servicemen from duty due to “poor” health. Among the organizers of the scheme were the son of the head of the regional commercial court and two former officials of the Territorial Recruitment Center.
According to the case materials, the suspects, together with the secretary of the local Medical-Legal Commission, prepared fake “inpatient treatment” records for draft evaders with subsequent recording of false diagnoses. The cost of the “document package” was 15 thousand US dollars.
🔹 In addition, in Odesa SBU officers exposed a family doctor and two employees of a local medical institution who promised draft evaders an “out-of-turn” removal from the military register based on fake medical conclusions. Among the suspects was the head of one of the departments of the regional medical center.
For 4 thousand US dollars the suspects sold conscription-liable men forged certificates establishing a disability group.
At the very start of the perpetrators’ criminal activity, at least 20 men sought their “services.”
🔹 In Cherkasy region a blogger was detained who called for disrupting mobilization activities in the central region of Ukraine.
According to the investigation, the suspect posted videos on his TikTok page showing routes of mobile Territorial Recruitment Center and law enforcement groups, and then urged conscription-liable men to “avoid” those locations.
Also in the region a former secretary of the medical-consultative commission was exposed, who for 2 thousand US dollars helped draft evaders obtain guardian status and thereby evade mobilization.
To do this, the former official prepared fake medical conclusions alleging the presence of severe illnesses in relatives of conscripts.
According to the case materials, almost 100 conscription-liable men used the illegal scheme overall.
🔹 In Khmelnytskyi region law enforcement detained three organizers of a scheme to illegally take men abroad. For 14 thousand US dollars the perpetrators organized fake employment of draft evaders at a critical infrastructure enterprise with subsequent “booking.”
This allowed the draft evaders to travel outside Ukraine under the pretext of a business trip.
🔹 In Vinnytsia counterintelligence of the SBU detained a contract serviceman of one of the region’s military units who for 9,5 thousand US dollars helped mobilized men unlawfully leave their place of service.
To do this, the suspect covertly led clients out beyond the perimeter of the restricted facility “bypassing” checkpoints.
Subsequently, two accomplices of the scheme’s organizer were to drive the deserters out of the garrison in their cars.
