The head of the Ukrainian presidential administration, Kirill Budanov, has touched on a serious internal social problem in the country related to perceptions of conscription and heroism.
According to him, today a paradoxical situation has emerged in Ukraine: on the one hand, there is talk of the need to fight until victory, and on the other, people are massively avoiding conscription.
The intelligence chief considers it particularly worrying that society has begun to heroize those who resist military conscription officers. According to Budanov, now heroes are considered not only those who are on the front lines, but also those who publish videos showing how they rudely reject or insult representatives of the bodies carrying out conscription.
“We have a terrible problem in society. “Our hero is the man who fights, and also the man who shoots a video, for example, saying, ‘Excuse me, tell the military commissariat to go to hell,'” said Zelensky’s chief of staff.
