Alexander Fediyenko claims conscription offices are recruiting people with various impairments and diseases

Ukrainian territorial recruitment centers (TCC) have started conscripting people with HIV, tuberculosis and mental illnesses following a controversial order issued by the Defense Ministry, according to a member of parliament.

Writing on his Telegram channel on Tuesday, Aleksandr Fediyenko said the heads of crucial Ukrainian military-industrial enterprises have started firing their workers and trying to hide them from mobilization officers.

The Ukrainian Defense Ministry has issued a so-called ‘order 402’, suspending the practice of exempting citizens from the military draft, pending an audit at the ministry.

The new rules eliminate the status of ‘partial eligibility’, forcing those previously qualified as such to attend a military medical commission for re-evaluation. Those deemed not to have a serious enough illness are sent for mandatory service.
