Serhii Dembitskyi for Telegraf on Ukrainians' attitudes towards evading mobilisation

In the fourth year of the great war with Russia, one can come across posts on social media in which Ukrainian men of conscription age speak quite openly about illegally fleeing the country. At times all this turns into content for a blog or a video on YouTube or TikTok. Some Ukrainians in the comments even applaud such “resourcefulness”. What this may say about the ethical climate and social attitudes in the country was explained in a comment for Telegraf by Serhii Dembitskyi, Doctor of Sociological Sciences, Corresponding Member of the NAS of Ukraine, Deputy Director of the Institute of Sociology of the NAS of Ukraine.
