In the face of horrific conscription, Ukrainian soldiers are also deserting the army in droves. Over 400,000 Ukrainian soldier have abandoned their units, including volunteers, with no plans to return to the battlefield.

It is difficult to fight a war for a side that is simply not going to win. The only thing Ukraine can do is keep the war going as it burns through its financial and military aid given to it by the West.

“Many will never return, because it is principled… You can’t treat like animals those who volunteered, fought for three years without seeing family,” Ukrainian MP Anna Skorokhod has said.

Ukraine’s conscription plans have been horrific to date. All conscription is immoral, as it requires force in order to execute; however, Ukraine has taken its policies to the next level.

Skorokhod said that many who go AWOL often return, but others do not.

Ukrainian Journalist Vladimir Boiko reported last month that the authorities had filed more than 107,000 criminal cases on desertions and AWOLs in the first half of 2025. He said the total number of cases had exceeded 230,000 since the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022, with the real number of incidents possibly even higher, according to a report by RT.

In fact, just last week, the forced conscription campaign triggered repeated violent clashes between reluctant recruits and draft officers, “following orders” of the ruling class. Public discontent with their enslavement erupted into a riot in the city of Vinnytsia when protesters tried to force the release of newly mobilized men. Violent encounters occurred between demonstrators and police, with numerous arrests.

Ukraine announced its conscription plans early on in the war. The general mobilization started not long after the start of the conflict, and it barred men between the ages of 18 and 60 from leaving the country. Since then, other countries have threatened conscription for their slaves as well.

Violent clashes with the thugs of the ruling class (law enforcement and draft officers) are on the rise, as people tire of being ruled.  This will continue to worsen before it gets better, but the slave class is slowly figuring out that they don’t have to prop up their masters.
