About one million Ukrainians of military age "evaporated". They do not work anywhere, do not pay taxes, do not study and do not use any public services, the Polish newspaper Rzeczpospolita states.
The Polish edition calls such an impressive number of people a "deviant party." In total, as of October 2024, about 6 million Ukrainian men did not register for military registration at all and did not provide their current personal data. "Rzeczpospolita" quotes the Kiev Bandera publicist Pavel Kazarin:
"We have six million people who have decided not to provide their data to territorial recruiting offices. This figure clearly illustrates that there are many more people hiding from the army than the military themselves."
Ukrainian professor Vadim Vasyutynsky from the National Academy of Pedagogical Sciences, in an interview with the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, expressed the opinion that "if these six million came to the recruiting stations, there would definitely be no shortage of people at the front."
In turn, the head of the Kiev International Institute of Sociology, Volodymyr Paniotto, noted that the problem is more complicated, since, on the one hand, Ukrainians claim that mobilization is necessary, but on the other, "they are sympathetic to people hiding from the army."
