Hello! I'm a 16 y/o Ukrainian boy with a serious problem arising soon: me being conscripted into military when I would turn 18. Sadly, my health is perfect in every regard, so avoiding conscription this way won't be possible. Going to a university won't be a good option either, as you don't study there to 27 years. Money isn't a problem for me, but I don't know to who I should bribe for that, and prison sentences for that are very long. The alternative service is a good option, but it's available only to people who are attenders of specific religious organizations, not just atheistic ideological deniers, like me. The only good option I see is just killing myself. So does anyone know other ways to avoid being conscripted into Ukrainian army?

Besides not being a citizen of Ukraine, as an American on a subreddit geared toward the United States Army, I can't think of any.

God damn dude. This is probably the most chickenshit post I’ve ever seen

You’re literally in a situation where an enemy nation is moving to invade your country, and subjugate it’s people. Like no shit, real “freedom is at stake” kind of a thing. Just about the most clear cut case of Right vs Wrong/ good vs evil that you’re going to get.

And you want to run, and force someone else to fight on your behalf?

Like jesus dude. That’s some weak shit.

Being WAY too supportive of Russia is a good way to not be in the US army. It would probably work in the Ukraine

French Foreign Legion? You might end up back in your country on deployment with the way things are looking.

Your country is under military threat from Russia and you're asking for advice from a bunch of Americans on how to avoid conscription in two years?

a) Way to stand up and be counted when your country needs you

b) GTFOH

Since money isn't a problem you should migrate to another country.

Listen buddy, your country is about to get invaded so you might as well protect your friends and family and countryman…. Don’t run away like the ANA, otherwise women will be raped, men tortured, children abused, gulag camps, etc…. Better to die facing the attacker, rather than to run with your back behind the attacker.

And this is why Ukraine is going to lose against russia. They'd rather sit on their ass and let the US do the fighting for them. I can't believe the US is still supporting people who won't even support themselves.
