Thousands of Ukrainian men are trying to flee the country to avoid getting drafted into the war with Russia.
It comes as the country lowers the conscription age from 27 to 25 due to a lack of soldiers fighting on the frontline.
Sky’s John Sparks spoke to a draft-dodger who is preparing to flee Ukraine through the mountains and the smuggler who’s helping men out before they get conscripted.

fake news western media saying Ukraine is winning every battle and the Russian has no more missiles and tanks and hundreds of thousands Russian's soldiers dying everyday, so far Ukrainians only losts 8 mens in 3 three of fighting 😘😘😘
If they don't want to fight, why are we sending them money and supplies?
pity to those young men
When sky reports the truth, conditions must be 10 times worse.
They don't want to die so zelensky and his wife can get rich , can't blame them either .
If only the news accurately reported the amount of Ukrainian dead. If they're asking for 500,000 more soldiers, that's near the amount that have died. A Ukrainian cell phone company looked at cell phones near the front that suddenly turned off and it was in the hundreds of thousands.
This war is going no where, I don't blame them!
😂😂😂guys it ain't funny anymore
Will the REAL Ukraine, PLEASE, stand up!
Take them back from NORWAY !!!!!!!
Anothsr jews leader, although an ex joker manages to bring war and used his young generations to die for him jyst to show off to russian that he has all the back up he need
They have to sacrifice their lives or the powerful in America will have to sacrifice their status.
They can't breathe (Ukrainian lives matter)
Am I the only one who questions wasn’t it supposed to be the elections in Ukraine?
Most of them are working in Western Europe, We voted against Ukrainian workers in the Netherlands but within 1 month of the war they where here, get housing provided and money and just skipped the line of black immigrants and refugees and immediately have jobs and we Dutch people have to speak English in our stores because that seems to be our new national langue. I saw 0 Muslim Ukrainians, Tartars or any other ethnic group here only Galicians.
Of coutse they are being used by NATO.
Zelensky must be on the front too 😉
Putting a Jew leading a Na zi party was a masterstroke so that nobody suspect of them, sadly they had to look for him in a circus
Die for what? Boris and Joe 🤮
They want NATO so much they can't wait to join it
So damn stupid of their Ukraine's propaganda to use a war veteran as recruitment desk officer who just lost a limb on the frontlines. Perhaps they think it will raise Patriotism as him as an example. It would rather do the opposite. If they want new recruits to get hyped, the recruitment officer should have been an abled body wearing the latest protection and arsenals to entice younger generation.
Fake numbers people, just like the covid death numbers. ALL fudged. Everything is cooked, even our countries inflation, gdp, taxes, profits. All fake
Where are the "SLAVA UKRAINIs" at?
Why should Western Countries support Ukraine, if Ukranians are not willing to defend their own country?
The sad reality for Ukrainians is fight or live under the rule of the gangsters in the Kremlin and the result is Ukraine will always be poor because Russia doesn't given a damn about the Ukrainian people they just want the resources and strategic places like Crimea.
Human rights 😂
THIS IS A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY.
FORCED MILITARISATION IS A CRIME.
I don't support madness
By doing so, they would also surrender to the Russians instead of fighting, and then hate their government lol
Zelensky and Ukraine most corrupt country in Europe!
London building sites are full of laughing ukrainian men mainly from western ukraine.
They care very little about war and are not planning to go back .
USA UK EU zelenskys WARMONGERS
Volunteer interview from one year ago, sky news 👌👌👌👌✌
Almost no criticism of occupier Russia and Putin in this comment section, it tells who has mobilized their bot factories most on youtube!
Dudes when there war in my country Bosnia, i went freely to save people around me. 30 years after the war, i would still go first to defend my country.
if this is old footage all of them are dead or impaired and the narrative changes 180°
See How a Desperate Western Force Operations 👀.
Unbound!
But I thought Ukraine was winning??!!
I wonder who are the real criminals.
Oh no… I thought Russia was being decimated and not long until conquered… what happened mainstream media??
Allies are afraid of Russia .
Serve your country !!!
How Sky News has changed it's tune. Hard to keep spouting lies all the time. The truth eventually outs.
Why fight fo America
