Odesa Resident Fined ₴5100 for Evasion of Military Duty

A resident of Odesa region refused to serve in the military and was put on the wanted list. His fate was decided in court.

This is stated in the verdict of the Krasnooknyansky District Court of Odesa Region.

According to the case file, the accused, a resident of the village of Topaly, failed to comply with the mandatory requirements for updating his data in the military register and failed to appear at the territorial recruitment center when summoned. He was repeatedly warned of his responsibility, but continued to evade military duty.

After being detained by law enforcement in November 2024, the man was given a referral for a medical examination and a second warning, but he again ignored the requirements of the law.
