100,000 young men flee Ukraine after conscription rules eased

Nearly 100,000 young Ukrainian men have fled the country in just two months following Kiev’s decision to relax its conscription laws, according to reports from Politico Europe and The Telegraph (UK).

Data from Poland’s Border Guard shows that 98,500 Ukrainians aged 18 to 22 crossed into Poland between September and October — more than double the number who left in the previous eight months. The exodus began after Ukraine temporarily lifted its travel ban for men under 23, a move intended to maintain family connections and reduce fears of forced conscription.

Officials had hoped the change would encourage young men living abroad to return home, but it has instead highlighted deep resistance to military mobilisation. Ukrainian forces continue to face severe troop shortages and mounting losses on the front line, with some commanders warning that depleted ranks are allowing Russian troops to breach fortified positions.



The controversial draft campaign has fuelled widespread unrest, with viral footage showing officers detaining men in public. Authorities say dozens have died attempting to flee the country, including around 50 who drowned while trying to cross the Tisza River into Romania.

    Why have hundreds of thousands of non whites from Muslim countries of military age without families been allowed to enter EU UK under the auspices of globalist no borders policies not as economic migrants displaced from their countries of origin by war?
    What happens when the white population is sent to undeclared wars of attrition on foreign soils?
