The Center for Strategic Communications published an analysis of discretization and disruption mobilization measures in Ukraine by Russian propaganda. Propagandists have been doing this since 2014, the Center emphasized.

In particular, the key anti-mobilization messages of propagandists are named:

• military commissars announced a "hunt": summonses are handed out to men of conscription age on the streets, in transport, in shops, and at work;

• after serving the summons, the mobilized are sent to the front without training and medical examination, the mobilized are "cannon fodder";

• only Russian-speakers/Ukrainian-speakers are fighting; only people from the East of Ukraine (while the "Westerners" are "cooling down") / only people from the West (while the "Easterners" are fleeing to the West or abroad) are fighting;

• the wealthy are bought off summonses with bribes; only the poor are mobilized (option: city dwellers avoid mobilization, peasants are “taken away by whole villages”);

• the enemy is stronger, resistance makes no sense;

• women’s military registration is preparation for total mobilization;

• men of conscription age must be released abroad: the ban destroys families and harms the economy;

• you can avoid mobilization thanks to various "schemes" of going abroad.

The propagandists’ goal is to sow doubts about the general mobilization legality, to assure Ukrainians of the selective and unjust mobilization, to normalize various practices of avoiding mobilization, and to undermine the level of trust in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
