According to Opendatabot, in 2023, Ukrainians received 1,274 verdicts in court cases on evasion of military service. The accused received both conditional and actual terms of imprisonment of up to 5 years.
A total of 3,746 sentences of this interpretation were passed since the beginning of the war in 2014. A third of them falls on 2023.
The first peak of punishments occurred in 2015 with the beginning of Russian aggression in the Ukrainian Donbas: 1,596 sentences were passed then. Then their number gradually decreased, reaching 8 completed cases in 2021. However, already in the first year after the full-scale invasion, such cases increased 25 times — up to 220 sentences.
The number of cases last year increased 5 times — to 1,274 compared to 2022. 60 criminal proceedings ended with a real conclusion.
An example is the situation in September, when a conscript passed a medical examination, received a summons, but did not come to the collection point. He received a sentence of imprisonment for 3 years.
