In Kyiv, law enforcement officers together with the SBU officers exposed another fraudulent scheme that allowed men of draft age to avoid mobilization.
A man who smuggled conscripts abroad has been detained
A 24-year-old resident of Kyiv offered conscripts help in enrolling in a Polish university for full-time study. For successfully passing online exams, he asked for $10,000.
This allowed his clients, namely men of draft age, to cross the Ukrainian border without hindrance.
