Concerns Over Military Draft in Ukraine

Here’s another situation today.

I got a father and son out of Oleshky,

they were traveling alone. They set off, all was well.

Today

in Rivne Oblast, they were taken

off the bus and brought to the TCC.

He’s forty. Fuck,

how am I supposed to get them out of there?

They won’t even let them get home,

get to Mykolaiv, for those who need

to go to Kherson or Kyiv.

To fucking get themselves

together for a couple of weeks,

then go for a medical board. No one will travel.

I don’t know where to write, what to do.

Fuck, where do I actually write?

This can’t be happening.

Rumors will spread,

that this shit is happening to men

leaving the occupied territories, no one will travel, and then

they’ll be forced to serve on the other side.

Young guys will stay there, hiding like rabbits on that left

bank, they’ll be

rounded up and forced to

serve

to the other side. Well, fuck,

come up with something, regulate it somehow,

some fucking law, I don't know,

write one, for God's sake, give these guys some

time, like a month, I don't know, three weeks or something.

I'm so fucking angry. You do such hellish work.

What for?

So that I— now his dad calls me and says:

"If I'd known, we never

would have left Oleshky, fucking hell."
