“Military enlistment offices have begun bringing homeless people, disabled individuals, and tuberculosis patients to training centers,” said a serviceman

Territorial recruitment and social support centers in Ukraine have increasingly been bringing homeless people to military training facilities.

This was stated by Dmytro Kukharchuk, deputy commander of the 3rd Army Corps, known by the callsign Slip, on his YouTube channel “That Same Kukharchuk”.

According to him, acquaintances from training centers have reported this issue.

“Homeless people are being brought to training centers. I’m absolutely not joking, not exaggerating, and not overstating this. I’m telling you what instructors and officers — my friends and acquaintances from training centers — are saying. Along with people who have various disabilities and open forms of tuberculosis, homeless individuals are being brought there more and more often. This doesn’t mean that all recruitment centers are targeting only such categories — otherwise, the Ukrainian army would have collapsed long ago — but it’s a bad signal that needs to be discussed,” Kukharchuk said.

The deputy commander emphasized that when a homeless person ends up in the army, “he is unlikely to think in terms of defending Ukrainian statehood or destroying the enemy.”

Earlier, it was reported that Oleh Symoroz, a war veteran who lost both legs, received a draft notice from a recruitment center, despite having a military ID stamp confirming his removal from the registry.

In Kharkiv, another case occurred in which the recruitment office mobilized a man who had been diagnosed in childhood with oligophrenia in the debility stage (a form of intellectual disability).
