The New York Times reports that thousands of Ukrainian men have gone into hiding to avoid conscription.
The men spend their days holed up at home to avoid draft officers who roam the streets.
“They’re everywhere now,” said Vladyslav, 45, who, like other Ukrainians in hiding interviewed for this article, requested that his last name not be published. “I’ll try to avoid getting caught,” he said, “but I’m not sure it’s possible.”
Now, as officers scour the country’s cities to draft men of military age, currently 25 to 60, many people like Vladyslav have gone into hiding, fearful that conscription is a one-way ticket to the front line.
“I’m afraid I won’t get enough training and then I’ll be moved closer to the front and then I’ll die senselessly,” said a 28-year-old web designer.
Andrii, another 28-year-old web designer from Lviv, described himself as “a bit paranoid.” He goes days without leaving his apartment, relying on a friend to deliver him food.
In Kyiv, a group with more than 200,000 members uses colors like green to signal the presence of draft officers and warns of the risk of being stopped as sunny, cloudy and stormy.

Fifty Ukranian men caught trying to flee over the border:
The Russian offense near Kharkiv has completely faltered without any success in creating Putin's "buffer zone". The Russians have now retreated near Vovchansk, Lyptsi, and Tykhe with no military success and huge losses. Quite the fiasco for the Kremlin. Their new hope is based on a summer offense in the Donbas region -- which is likely to fizzle out as western munitions take out Russian aerial attack platforms and supplies across Russia and Crimea.
Russia withdraws troops from town near Kharkiv after becoming ‘bogged down’
Armed forces pulled back from Vovchansk, says Ukrainian military, as Kremlin gears up for expected summer offensive in Donbas region
