A draft evader is a general term used to refer to people who attempt to avoid mobilization and conscription into the army. This phenomenon is complex and provokes mixed reactions within Ukrainian society. This issue elicits a range of opinions within society, where on one hand there is a sense of duty towards the state, and on the other, recognition that individuals may have their own motivations and circumstances. Attitudes toward draft evaders vary: some condemn such actions, viewing them as a neglect of duty to the country, while others take a more understanding or neutral stance, especially when complex personal or family circumstances are involved.

It is important to note that the status of draft evaders should be addressed in line with journalistic ethics and standards — they should not be labeled as criminals or violators without judicial verdicts. This section gathers materials on the reasons and contexts behind draft evasion, societal reactions, and government initiatives aimed at ensuring a fair approach to mobilization.
