Ukrainian military recruitment officers raided restaurants, bars and a concert hall in Kyiv, checking military registration documents and detaining men who were not in compliance, local media reported Saturday.
Officers reportedly descended on Kyiv’s Palace of Sports venue after a concert Friday night by Ukrainian rock band Okean Elzy. Video footage aired by local media outlets appears to show officers stationed outside the doors of the concert hall intercepting men as they exit. In the footage, officers appear to be forcibly detaining some men.
It is unusual for such raids to take place in the capital, and reflects Ukraine’s dire need for fresh recruits. All Ukrainian men aged 25-60 are eligible for conscription, and men aged 18-60 are not allowed to leave the country.

And Putin just raids the prisons. So what??
You mean Zeepers are just keyboard warriors? I don’t follow all the UKe threads because it sounds like a bunch of brats at the playground. But what little I have read makes it sound like the Zeepers are right there on the front lines documenting every Russian that gets zapped.
If You Can Boogaloo, Uncle Zelenskyyy Wants You!
One wonders if the “conscripted” did Nazi it coming...
When the balloon goes up and WW III is on (Conventional and not Nuclear) we will see such things in The USA/Canada. The nightclubs of LA and New York will provide much needed cannon fodder for the wars in Europe’s east, Africa, Middle East, South America and Asia. Women too, You come a long way baby, why should men have all the fun? Women can work a drone controls as well as men—maybe better? The draft will catch many by surprise—but how else can we get the ten million man army we will need?
Well ya have to wonder what monies Zelensky is using to ‘buy’ N.Koreas soldiers to fight in Ukraine now.
“...how else can we get the ten million man army we will need?”
We can use O’Bumbler’s “Civilian Army” (which is just as equally-armed as the U.S. Army).
Russia has a draft, and it seem they enforce their draft laws.
Draftees are banned from leaving the country
“On a basic level, the new law makes it very difficult for Russians — mostly men but also women with specialized skills — to avoid being drafted or conscripted.
Until now, military recruitment officers have had to go in person to deliver a paper summons to a draftee’s home or workplace.
That system will now be supplanted by electronic notifications — i.e. emails — issued through systems including the web portals that Russians use to pay their utility bills, taxes and other services.
The electronic notification will be binding from the moment the government hits send.
And with the new law, draftees are immediately banned from leaving the country.
Those who fail to show up at a recruitment office promptly will soon face a raft of new restrictions related to banking, selling property and even gaining access to a driver’s license.
Already before the reform, people who refused orders to serve in the military have faced a possible prison sentence of up to 10 years.”
Grow up.
During every war prospective criminals are given a choice to serve or stay in a cage. The US did this back in the civil war and since then. So WUT?
And, if you want to stay in a country that is so debased as Uk has become, you still need to register — or leave.
If you stay in any country you need to take on responsibilities “assigned” by that society — even ones you don’t like. Don’t wanna do that? Then, either vote the arsholes out or leave the country.
The recruiters need to travel to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania - the warehouses in the area and in the Lehigh Valley are loaded with Young Ukrainian guys working the docks. Somehow they avoided Saint Zelenskyy’s Draft...
It seems that both sides in the officially non-NATO between non-NATO Ukraine and non-NATO Russia are alleged to be guilty of war crimes, as of drafting conscripts, as of.....
When the hostilities broke out in earnest some years back, here on Free Republic, some wrote "not my circus, not my monkeys" and they were assailed by the neocon, neolib voices as "Putin stooges" and the like. Being concerned about the US wasting "treasure" in a non-NATO war was dismissed as against US "strategic interests."
Fast forward to this election year, one sees the Cheneys are campaigning for Harris-Walz, testifying without dispute, that there is a clear neo-con, neo-lib alliance. It is against Trump, when all is said and done.
Therefore, the FR voices so easily attacking others with slurs such as "Putin stooge" and the like seem to have more in common with the Harris-Walz camp than with the Trump-Vance ticket.
I am certain you -- Navy -- and I -- Army -- will vote Trump in 2024.
And Russia under Putin is not debased??? B.S.

You are way off base, countries don’t usually empty their prisons, and they sure don’t send the killers and cannibals into their military like Russia did has been.
It ain’t neutral. The dead give away is the use of neocon language such as, “…a conflict that started with Russia’s full-scale invasion…”.
It was a full scale invasion, it was intended to conquer Ukraine and the capitol.
Ukraine moving into Kursk is not a full scale invasion, not because of its size or numbers, but because of its goal.
There will be mass resistance (draft dodging) that will cut across all political persuasions, races and economic status if a draft is instituted in the US. There will be substantial non-compliance (33-50%).
My comment did not use the word, neutral.
I write specifically, "...both sides in the officially non-NATO between non-NATO Ukraine and non-NATO Russia are alleged to be guilty of war crimes, as of drafting conscripts, as of....."
One watches the Biden-Harris administration "Blinken" their way between "war" and "plausible deniability" as we do have not declared war. Most of Europe is playing the same game, tiptoeing up to but not past an actual entry as a declared ally into a declared war. The last years have been one of being "half pregnant."
Billions and billions have been spent in a variety of ways, all while being half-pregnant. Now comes time to figure out is their is a baby there or there isn't.If there's no "delivery" then the neo-con, neo-lib gambit will have been an expensive moment in time, for taxpayers as for the dead and maimed.

No, The Government will set up a Mass death event to blame on the enemy. A horrible event like Oct. 7 or the Mumbai raid, or 9-11. A Lusitania Moment that will galvanize all Americans to hate the enemy. Americans hate war—but they love a crusade. Any who do not comply will be seen as a “Slacker”, “Traitor” “Degenerate” “Sub -human” They will be shamed to fight—only a small few will avoid the draft and face prison or worse—death at the hands of “Patriot” Mobs.
The article was more balanced than usual, 6 paragraphs on the title subject all unbiased, 5 paragraphs diversionary Ukraine propaganda, 4 paragraphs diversionary Russian propaganda, 1 paragraph neutral propaganda.
I suspect the tone will change quite a bit, IF Newsmax has some of their own writers author these articles instead of running the Associated Presstitute authors unchallenged.
