Ukraine’s New Martial Law: Draft Evasion Now a Criminal Act | Times Now World

Ukraine has moved to clamp down on draft evasion with a new bill that threatens men of military age with heavy fines and prison sentences for attempting to flee the country during martial law. The legislation, submitted to parliament by the Cabinet of Ministers, replaces minor penalties with sweeping criminal charges, including up to three years in jail for crossing borders illegally or using forged documents. Kyiv revealed that nearly 43,000 conscripts have been caught trying to escape since Russia’s full-scale invasion, a figure it calls “shocking.” Officials say the crackdown sends a blunt message: draft evasion is now a crime punishable by prison, not just a fine. #ukrainewar, #draftevasion, #kyiv, #mobilization, #wartime, #ukrainecrackdown, #russiaukraine, #ukrainenews, #draftdodgers, #breakingnews #ukraineconscripts #tnworld #timesnowworld #worldnews #internationalnews #timesnews #newsworld ​Subscribe now: http://bit.ly/3VHIl37 Times Now World is your definitive source for comprehensive global news and analysis.
