Ukrainian army prepares for mobilization of Kherson residents

The Ukrainian armed forces are preparing for the mobilization of all citizens of conscription age in Kherson, a source from the region's emergency services told reporters on Thursday.

"According to information received from sources in the Ukrainian armed forces, mobilization activities [with respect to] all draft-age citizens are being currently prepared in Kherson and on the right bank," the source said.

There is an attitude among the Ukrainian military that residents of various regions of Ukraine, including in the Kiev region, have been dodging the draft, including on the territory of the Kherson Region, when entry to the region was available to all comers.
