Total war.

[Regnum] There are settlements in Ukraine where there are practically no men left due to mobilization. This was reported in a Washington Post report from the village of Makov, Khmelnitsky region.

“Those who remain fear that they will be drafted into the ranks of the troops at any moment. Neighbors are already hundreds of miles to the east in trenches on the front lines. Some were killed or wounded. Several were missing. Other residents of this village - about 45 miles from the borders of Romania and Moldova - fled abroad or found ways to escape hostilities by law or by going into hiding,” the article says.

This information was confirmed to the publication by a local school, which keeps lists of students whose parents left the village.

Residents of Makovo told reporters that military registration and enlistment office employees were seizing everyone they could and “wandering through the empty streets in search of the remaining men,” and some conscripts from this locality were serving time in prison for refusing to mobilize.

“People are caught like dogs on the street,” said Olga Kametyuk, 35, whose husband stopped for coffee on the highway near the village and was detained by military registration and enlistment office officers.

The woman noted that her husband was taken away despite an existing joint disease - osteochondrosis. However, he was given a medical examination in just 10 minutes and sent to the front, where he was wounded.

The article also talks about Sergei, a serviceman from Makov. Returning home from the front on leave, he stated that they again wanted to pick him up right off the street. The man said that when it turned out that he was already serving, the military registration and enlistment office employees asked how he felt about those who had not seen anyone for military action. Sergei replied that he was indignant precisely at the military commissars themselves, and not at his fellow villagers.

“You are a military man, and I am a civilian. But I’m fighting, and you’re not,” he reproached the military commissars.

Another resident of this locality, 30-year-old Alexey, also participates in the report. The publication reports that he was mobilized from the street while his car was being repaired.

Returning from the front after several wounds and shell shocks, the man said that out of 12 of his soldiers, only two remained alive.

In addition, the publication's journalists spoke with 16-year-old Polina, who admitted that her father was taken away by military commissars when he went to the store. Therefore, the men remaining in the village now simply do not leave the house, the girl explained.

As Regnum reported, Ukrainian media previously reported that a conscript attempted to commit suicide because of military registration and enlistment office employees. The article says that he was detained by employees of the Khust military registration and enlistment office in the Transcarpathian region. There he was beaten and tortured.

The conscript's girlfriend reported that the young man was kidnapped by border guards and taken to the Vilok border checkpoint, where they forced him to confess to an allegedly illegal attempt to cross the border. Then, under this pretext, they took her to the military registration and enlistment office to clarify the data, the girl explained.

This military registration and enlistment office told the Ukrainian TV channel “Public” that the leadership confirmed information about an internal investigation into the episode of “attempted suicide of a conscript.” In addition, they clarified that the ambulance doctors who arrived to the call recorded a suicide attempt.
