SBU officers detained three Vinnytsia residents in Odesa region on suspicion of organizing the illegal transportation of persons liable for military service abroad.

This was reported by the SBU press service.

According to the SBU, the men, aged 19 to 24, organized a criminal group that transported conscripts to unrecognized Transnistria. From there, the fugitives hoped to travel to the European Union.

In Ukraine, the SBU reported blocking six new mobilization evasion schemes in different regions of Ukraine. As a result of complex measures, 21 suspects were detained.

In the Kyiv region, the director of the medical college of the Kyiv Regional Council was detained for taking money for the production of documents on unfitness for service, including fake disability. The suspect used personal connections among officials of the military medical commission to prepare fake medical certificates.

In Chernihiv region, a local businessman was suspected of falsely employing men of military age in local gymnasiums. This gave them the right to receive a deferral from mobilization. For this purpose, the offender involved five heads of educational institutions who hired employees for a percentage who did not actually appear on the territory of educational institutions. All the offenders have been detained by law enforcement.

An entrepreneur who sold more than 100 fake documents about being unfit for service due to chronic illnesses was detained in Khmelnytskyi. She engaged four doctors she knew: a rheumatologist, an ophthalmologist, an orthopedic traumatologist, and a urologist to produce the fakes.

In Prykarpattia region, three residents of Ivano-Frankivsk and Zakarpattia regions were exposed for offering clients migration to a neighboring country by swimming across the border river.

In Zhytomyr region, four suspects were notified of suspicion. Two of them were local businessmen who sold fake disability certificates. The other two are a fugitive who used the service and a neurologist who forged medical documents.
