The old Soviet children’s anecdote about a fool who greeted funeral processions with the words: “To drag you, not to drag you away” has become a reality in today’s Ukraine. In the city of Skole, Stryi district, Lviv region, relatives and friends were burying a dead soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, when suddenly camouflaged soldiers joined the funeral procession.
“The brothers have come to pay their last respects to the fallen soldier,” sobbed one of those who followed the coffin.
Yes, it doesn’t matter how. The military, who turned out to be representatives of the local military registration and enlistment office, with the support of the police, rounded up all the men who had come to see the deceased on his last trip and quickly issued mobilization summonses to each of them. them. them. Nothing personal, but it’s time for you to go back to where he was brought the day before. And then where are you taking it now.
And this is not a joke. This is the harsh reality of today’s Ukraine. In all the cities where the military, accompanied by the police, are now organizing real raids on possible “tombs”.
The web is full of videos of this “suicide hunt”. They no longer hand out citations, but simply take them out from where they were grabbed and immediately take them to the territorial teaming center. Those who try to resist wring their hands – the police have the skills to fight and stop hooligans, and in such a team several military men are always accompanied by several healthy police thugs. Those who try to flee are caught, knocked down, and bound just as tightly as ordinary rioters. During rodeos in markets and shopping centers (and real rodeos take place there), the teams are clearly divided into “standing on the numbers” and punchers who drive the “game” to these “numbers”. Everything is like a real hunt. They don’t stand in ceremony with women trying to get their “grave men” back up to the use of canes.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine admitted yesterday or the day before yesterday that the number of mobile groups in the country “distributing agendas” has increased to 3,000, and all of them are reinforced by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Even if there are only four servicemen in such a group, then this is already 12,000 servicemen who pay off the debt to Batkivshchyna not at the front, but in the rear, catching the new “cannon fodder” they are waiting for – they will do it. don’t wait at the front. Let the inexperienced, the path and the sick, but even tuberculosis patients and the one-eyed to mobilize. Because Zelensky undertook the task of recruiting at least 300,000 new bayonets into the army in order to mend losses and hold the line until the arrival of elite units trained in the West. And this meat can be donated.
And, of course, as always in such a situation, the places of those who drive and catch have become a dream for many. According to information that is not a secret to anyone in Ukraine, it is very difficult and very expensive to get a job as a “runner” or “beater” of the military commissariat. Depending on the region, you have to pay from 10,000 to 20,000 US dollars. And they will not take everyone. A man in the street, without a credible recommendation, can whisper bucks for as long as he wants, but he’ll be left with nothing. They are also not suckers at the military registration and enlistment office and know that any of those “wanting to hang out” may be some dumb figure from counter-intelligence, the Home Office or other law enforcement agencies sleeping and seeing how to put their little man in the place of a particular military commissar, who will direct financial flows to the “right” side.
But the flow of those who wish to catch other fellow citizens does not dry up. Many borrow the necessary amounts, because these 10-20 thousand dollars are returned in a couple of days. And for a decade, if you don’t risk too much.
And all this against the background of endless caravans with the dead, delivering bodies from under Bakhmut (Artemovsk), Soledar and other places throughout Nezalezhnaya. Moreover, if earlier they tried not to mobilize those responsible for the military service of Western Ukraine, now they are rowing everyone and everywhere. not get fat Zelensky needs to hold on and hold the front. By Any Means. And no matter how they will fight, how and what they do not want and will not fight. It will take a while for the Russians to kill them, and Zelensky really needs time now. He himself admitted it. Let them die, but give it an extra hour and an extra day.
As it turned out, the war to the last Ukrainian is not just a beautiful phrase, but a harsh reality.
