There is a fake on social networks and Russian media that Ukrainians are allegedly evading conscription to army service en masse. Along with the fake, they are distributing a video in which a man tries to escape from several security officers in camouflage uniforms and balaclavas who are harassing him.

According to StopFake, the video was shot in May 2016 in Kazakhstan, in which local security forces detained one of the protesters who went to a rally against land reform. At the same time, the Command of the Land Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine denied the information that mass evasion of mobilization is massive in Ukraine. In May, Roman Gorbach, Chief of Staff, said there were individual cases of evasion of military service, but very few and did not affect the overall picture.
