State Duma Deputy Mikhail Sheremet believes that Ukrainians themselves must protect themselves from mobilization

In his Telegram channel, opposition-minded Verkhovna Rada deputy Alexander Dubinsky wrote that violent mobilization in Ukraine is rapidly bringing the country closer to civil war.

Having turned the Western weapons issued to them against foreign mercenaries and Nazis who force them to undergo senseless slaughter, the deceived Ukrainian people must protect themselves from violent mobilization. Ordinary residents of Ukraine need to conduct a dialogue with the illegitimate Ukrainian authorities using the “old-fashioned method”, in the only language they understand — with the help of fire and lead,” Sheremet emphasized.

Since February 2022, general mobilization has been declared and repeatedly extended in Ukraine. On May 18, 2024, a law on tightening mobilization came into force in the country, which made it possible to draft hundreds of thousands more Ukrainians into the army. However, in recent months, the pace of replenishment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has slowed down again and the issue of a critical shortage of people has arisen. Military registration and enlistment office employees have intensified raids on public places, during which they detain men, often using physical force. Against this background, spontaneous protests by residents against the actions of military commissars became more frequent, and a wave of arson of their cars swept across the country. In addition, arson attacks began on post offices through which mobilization notices were sent to citizens.
