Ukraine's finally admitted problems with military recruitment, pledging reform.
It's way too late. There's been outright hatred at so-called "busification" - with many examples of people snatched from the street despite not evading service and with no arrest warrant.

I don't like criticising Ukraine, but sometimes it's necessary, and like usual this is down to the "recruitment" officers.

Whether he was evading service or not, you CANNOT just dump his dog there.

Another likely personnel change could be new C-in-C, Mykhailo Drapatyi sacking the former number 2 to Syrskyi.
Land Forces Boss Oleksandr Hruzevych was behind "busification" while opposing surveillance cameras in military recruitment offices.

A while ago (I won't say where/when to protect his ID), one of my best friends was grabbed on the street in what's become known as "busification" (thrown in a bus like a criminal & sent to a military camp)

Had he been sent a call-up, he'd have gone happily.
