Checks on tax evaders intensified: actions of the CCC and the police

Large-scale checks are underway in Ukraine among men trying to avoid military service.

Law enforcement agencies have identified numerous cases of using forged documents and even attempting self-harm to avoid mobilization. According to the National Police, more than 30 people have already been charged. Among the fraudulent schemes identified are forging medical certificates, falsifying documents about caring for relatives, and deliberately causing self-harm. These individuals submitted false documents to military units, trying to prove that they were unfit for service due to health conditions or had severe family circumstances.

Law enforcement officers emphasize that the use of false medical certificates and other methods of evading mobilization carries severe liability. Under Ukrainian law, violators may face imprisonment for up to 10 years.

These checks are part of a nationwide campaign to identify offenders during martial law. The signing of the law on punishment for evading service signals the seriousness of the state’s intentions to ensure conscription and protect national security. Anyone who tries to circumvent the law risks not only their freedom but also betrays those who are already fighting on the front lines.
