Ukrainian ‘draft-dodger’ kills himself in army recruitment centre

Ukrainian officials said on Tuesday a man wanted for evading a military call-up killed himself after being caught by police and taken to an army recruitment centre.

Facing manpower shortages in the face of the Russian invasion, Kyiv is mounting an intense campaign to draft men to its armed forces.

Officials in the central city of Poltava said police had brought the man to an army recruitment centre on Monday because he was on the country’s wanted list.

“He refused to undergo a military medical examination,” the Poltava regional territorial recruitment centre said in a post on Facebook.

It said his body was found in one of the centre’s “technical rooms,” showing “obvious signs” that he had taken his own life.

A full investigation into the circumstances of his death has been opened, it added.
