Attacks on Ukrainian military recruitment officers have become "regular" and "a major problem," the country's military ombudswoman said, as Kyiv struggles to mobilise men to fight in the fifth year of Russia's full-scale invasion, the BBC's Sarah Rainsford reported from Kyiv.
The National Police Service has recorded more than 600 assaults on recruiters to date and warned the aggression has become "increasingly threatening."
Veteran Vasyl Krupych, who survived combat in Donbas, described being beaten with a crowbar by two men he was pursuing as suspected draft dodgers last December, an attack that left him hospitalised for six weeks. "What did we fight for, if soldiers can now get beaten?" he told the BBC.
The first major alert came in April, when several recruiters were stabbed, one fatally; this month in Lviv, some 200 protesters surrounded officers attempting to detain a suspected draft dodger and overturned their vehicle, an incident that made national headlines.
The BBC noted the topic remains one Ukrainians are wary of discussing openly, for fear of feeding Russian propaganda about the war effort's fragility – even as the scale of documented violence against recruiters continues to climb.
