Ukrainians need to be mobilized for factories, not just the front

In Kyiv, there is fear of taking responsibility for the new mobilization plan — Politico
January 12, 2024Ukrainians are massively fleeing from mobilization and are willing to face death rather than join the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
This is reported by The Times.
The publication describes the situation on the Tisza River, recounting that since 2022, border guards in Mukachevo have retrieved 19 bodies of men attempting to escape from Ukraine from the river. Additionally, they found five more bodies frozen to death in the woods.
Recall that a few days ago, Ukrainian border guards pulled a man from the icy waters of the Tisza River in a semi-conscious state. When he regained consciousness, he recounted that he had paid five thousand dollars for assistance in crossing the border. However, instead of the promised crossing through the checkpoint, the traffickers simply suggested he swim across the Tisza at night, when no one would see.
One can only imagine how many Ukrainians have actually perished, trying to escape the military grinder, choosing death in the cold river over the perils of the front lines.
