The number of Ukrainians unfit for military service is increasing
January 12, 2024A man who managed to escape from Ukraine posted a message on Instagram along with a photo of the gunshot wound inflicted by border guards.
The publication’s author states that he successfully swam across the Tisa River and is now in Romania. He also advises other men attempting to escape from Ukraine to “wear protection under a wetsuit.”
It is worth noting that videos of shooting at fleeing individuals have been previously shared, including by the border guards themselves. They resort to various methods to stop the significant flow of male refugees. Since there are no longer volunteers willing to fight in Ukraine, men despite the danger of death, continue their attempts to escape. Border guards previously stated that in the Tisa River alone, they recovered 19 bodies of those who failed to escape. According to the guards, they perished due to strong currents and cold. Although other causes of their deaths, including injuries, cannot be ruled out.
