Kharkiv region, another interesting scene of Ukrainian civilians voluntarily enlisting in the military. A Ukrainian man on a bicycle tried to speed away, but conscription officers surrounded him with two minivans from both sides. Despite the man's fierce resistance, the conscription officers, who were in greater numbers, directly stuffed the man and his bicycle into the minivan.
Although the Ukrainian authorities say that all Ukrainian military personnel are volunteers, Ukrainian citizens continue to complain that conscription officers are "capturing animals" around the streets, capturing any males they see, causing them to be afraid to go out. Although the Ukrainian government claims to crack down on corruption, there are continuous reports from Ukrainian media that some conscription officials take bribes to help the rich or those with connections avoid military service. Some eligible men also obtain "exemption from service certificates" by paying high fees (thousands to tens of thousands of dollars), while ordinary people without money are forced to go to the front line.
