“If society negatively perceives the distribution of conscription notices in public places then what should we call them?” Pavliuk said.
“Why isn’t the focus shifted towards the soldiers on the frontlines, who simply cannot go on leave because the commander doesn’t allow it, saying, ‘someone needs to replace you?”
Recent incidents that drew publice ire include a raid by the SBU on an upscale Kyiv restaurant on Dec. 15, and conscription notices being handed out at a Mykolaiv shopping mall on Dec. 16.
