Broken arms and cocked guns: Ukraine’s forced mobilization escalates (VIDEOS)

Ukraine would never have dreamed of going to war against mighty Russia over giving autonomy to a few ethnic Russian oblasts on the border, were it not for long established control and massive cash support from the USA.

Conscription officers kidnap with snatch squads to send more cannon fodder to the front line, according to multiple videos

Even with gifted arms, training and logistics from the US and 32 NATO States they could finally never have enough soldiers to win.

Barring mutual suicide in a western triggered Nuclear Armageddon Ukraine was always bound to lose. By now a third have fled the country, the economy is dead, only surviving on Western donations to the corrupt and nazi infested State apparatus.

It’s now impossible to fill conscription quotas, and sending untrained old men straight to the front lines is nothing but a death sentence. Those who cannot flee have to live in hiding and are ruthlessly hunted down by conscription police thugs.

Ukrainian authorities are pushing their mobilization campaign to the limit, with many encounters between target recruits and conscription officers descending into violence, according to videos shared on social media over the past week

A video from the scene shows a Ukrainian service member cocking his gun to disperse the crowd. According to media reports, and judging by the clip, the man was able to walk away from the conscription officers.

According to a clip published by several media outlets on Tuesday, one of the most brutal incidents occurred in Lviv, in western Ukraine. Three conscription officers in uniform can be seen trying to force a middle-aged man into a minibus as he fiercely resists.

One soldier is seen kicking the man multiple times in the knee. After a severe beating, the draftee ends up in the vehicle, and his further fate is unknown.

Responding to a public outcry, the local recruitment office claimed the man was eligible for mobilization but did not have any ID documents. The military said it tried to take the would-be conscript to the local recruitment office, but he refused and lashed out at the officers, leading to a clash. The office also said those involved in the encounter have been suspended.

Another clip released on Sunday shows the moment Ukrainian recruiters attempted to arrest a man in Kamenets-Podolsky, in western Ukraine, reportedly breaking his arm in the process.

The video features an officer sitting on top of a struggling man, while two policemen stand nearby. The man cries out in pain and says “My arm!”

A similar incident took place on Tuesday in the central Ukrainian city of Dnepr, where recruiters attempted to arrest a 45-year-old man at a train station. According to Ukrainian officials, the would-be conscript refused to show his ID papers and pulled out a knife, injuring a service member and a police officer.

However, a clip circulating on social media shows no signs of injury to the patrol members, but a bloodied civilian can be seen pinned to the ground, while a crowd attempts to free him.

In Rivne, western Ukraine, two servicemen were seen tackling a middle-aged man and then dragging him into a minibus and driving away.

Ukraine has long tried to use mobilization – which has been marred by widespread corruption – to replenish battlefield losses, lowering the draft age from 27 to 25 and tightening conscription regulations last spring. Many Ukrainian commanders have complained that the lack of reinforcements is the key reason behind Kiev’s gradual retreat under Russian pressure in recent months.

The Washington Post, citing Ukrainian and Western officials, reported last week that Kiev had managed to draft only 200,000 recruits, although Ukraine’s former military chief, General Valery Zaluzhny, previously insisted that the country needed as many as 500,000.
