Ah, but have you tankies considered how cheap it is to send mentally disabled Eastern Europeans to die and how much value The West™ is getting out of this?

This is clearly a sign of good things just around the corner.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The taxi driver from the Ukrainian city of Kitsman who declined to give his name out of fear of retribution told the Times that military recruiters seized his passport and only returned it to him days later after he showed up to a medical screening.

Attorneys and activists told the news outlet that the aggressive tactics — which have allegedly included physical force — exceed the limits of recruiters' authority and are blatantly illegal in some cases.

The man, Hryhorii Harasym, was cleared for duty with certain restrictions and summoned for mobilization, the Times reported, citing military documents.

"They summoned to the army a person with an official diagnosis of 'mental disability' from childhood," Tetiana Fefchak, an attorney who was able to block Harasym's conscription, told the Times.

Ukraine's Ministry of Defense responded to the accusations of forced conscription in a statement to the Times, saying: "Changes to the legislation relating to mobilization and demobilization processes are currently being developed in the Verkhovna Rada," the country's parliament.

Ukraine's military, like Russia's, has suffered massive losses on the battlefield since Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his invasion of the country in February 2022.


The original article contains 512 words, the summary contains 192 words. Saved 62%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
