War is hell. Forced war upon the innocents is even worse and this story is very disturbing.
Ukraine has forced conscription. Essentially a radical forced draft where the government pays private contractors to locate Ukrainian men, drag them off the streets, put them into military training and force them to fight in the war. Inside Ukraine this process has become more and more aggressive as the population of available fighting-age males has declined.
The process is also fraught with corruption. The private contractors, “draft enforcers” ie. “headhunters”, are paid to find the men who refuse to fight. Financial support given to Ukraine by Europe and the USA funds these headhunting operations. However, the headhunters also take bribes and payments by Ukraine families who want to keep their sons, brothers and husbands alive and away from the eastern Ukraine meat grinder.
The headhunters are paid a bounty by the government for every Ukraine conscript they produce. The headhunters will let the conscripts avoid service if a bribe is paid by the family. To say the headhunters are hated by the Ukrainian people would be an understatement. This has created a powder-keg of anger inside the population of Ukraine and is the #1 reason why President Zelenskyy will not permit an election. Zelenskyy would be crushed.
When the headhunters capture the conscript, they turn the man over to the Ukrainian Azov Battalion who are responsible for getting the unwilling soldiers prepared to fight and die. Azov uses physical and psychological pressure to break the resistance of the conscript and get him trained for the front lines. You can easily imagine what horrors happen in this process until the conscript finally breaks and agrees to go fight.
We have watched this unfold for several years. Everything about this forced military service is horrific. That horror is compounded when you realize the ideological mindset of the Nazi Azov Battalion and the unlimited brutality they are willing to execute to succeed in the objective.
There are no rules, laws or humanitarian limits within this process, and everything is subject to the overarching Ukraine corruption system that exists within this hellscape of a country supported by EU and U.S. elites.
Last night one of the interim Azov detainment facilities was identified in the Kiev suburb of Petropavlivska Borshchahivka.
The Azov guards held between 20 and 40 men who were in the process of ‘transition’, where they are beaten, abused, subjected to controlled torture operations and psychological efforts needed to turn ordinary civilian men into combat ready soldiers. Some of the conscripts were being severely injured during their transition and training.
A paramedic was called who witnessed up to 40 men with substantial injuries in the basement of the house being used as one of the Azov transition facilities. Word soon spread throughout the neighborhood and people began assembling to confront the plain clothed armed guards who refused to let further medical assistance reach the men in the basement.
Hundreds of citizens began showing up. The Azov regular military came in to support their undercover comrades. Things quickly escalated as the Azov group have no respect for the civilian population; they are, after all, just sheep awaiting slaughter. The civilian population have no respect for the Azov military because they know exactly what tortures are happening in these transition houses.
KIEV – Residents gathered outside a facility in Petropavlivska Borshchahivka, attempting to force open its gates, lighting flares and throwing eggs. Forced detention allegations: Reports circulating on social media claimed that between 20 and 40 men were being held in a basement, with some allegedly injured.
National Guard response: Spokesperson Ruslan Muzychuk identified the property as an Azov 1st National Guard Corps facility used to temporarily accommodate personnel before military training.
Four hospitalized: National Guard commander Oleksandr Pivnenko said four servicemen were taken to hospital following the confrontation.
Official investigation: Interior Minister Ivan Vyhivskyi ordered an internal investigation into conditions at the facility. Police denied allegations of illegal detention and reports of fatalities.
Ukraine’s wider conscription crisis: The incident comes amid growing scrutiny of military recruitment practices, draft evasion and unauthorized absence from military units. Ukraine faces mounting pressure to maintain military manpower as its war with Russia continues. Allegations of forced recruitment and controversial mobilization practices have intensified public scrutiny of the country’s conscription system. (source)
What also alarms me personally, is the way Ukraine media justify the brutality and torture that is being carried out and funded by the European and American government. The Senior Reporter at the Kyiv Independent attended the confrontation and writes a long thread on X justifying the behavior of the Azov enforcers. [SEE HERE]

Azov commander Denys Prokopenko recorded a video accusing those who exposed Azov’s secret torture prison in Petropavlivska Borshchahivka of smearing the military, discrediting Azov and pointed a finger at Russian attempts to destabilize the country from within.

If an American has a blue and yellow flag in front of their house or business, they are pledging allegiance to Azov Nazis and the CIA.
In CT, they are still every where.
History rhymes.
MSM official corporate gov’t approved news told me it’s okay to mostly peacefully protest them and if you don’t confront them directly your silence is violence.
If “color revolution” comes to these shores we would be wise to remember first who spews the propaganda.
Yup. Clueless virtue signaling clowns.
You can’t fix stupid.
In the case of politicians (R & Ds) you can’t fix greed.
And you can’t fix evil.
You wrote, “In the case of politicians (R & Ds) you can’t fix greed.” emphasis added
I say it this way about politicians and others who are lining their pockets with taxpayer dollars at all levels of government.
It’s all about “money and power” and/or “power and money”.
None of this will reach the awareness of such Americans, Chris. Their favourite news MSM sources won’t dare to report it. Show such Americans the pictures, they will refuse to believe it and claim President Putin…and probably President Trump..manufactured them.
But I will tell you who knows, keeps quiet, and reaches into our pockets to fund more, more, more of this hideous brutality and torture.
Every single member of both the House and the Senate who auuthorizes the endless tsunami of money for it.
Every single member of both the House and the Senate who obstructs President Trump’s efforts to end this monstrous war.
Every single member of both the House and the Senate who knows and keeps his or her mouth shut, thus giving their tacit approval for the Azov Nazis and their “training” practices.
Can we now imagine what Gonzalo Lira, before he was murdered, went through when these monsters got their hands on him?
I don’t believe that in accepting that they all know, it is a stretch that after listening to DataRepublican’s evidence, listening to Slotkin, listening to the Mark Kelly Six who urged members of our military to disobey orders, and too many more to list here, that the very same couldn’t happen in our America…
Should, by whatever means, the Newly Constructed Democrats come within a hair’s breadth of regaining power.
Incitement to mob rule has been the terrible weapon for our very own home grown “Azovs”…occupying positions of power.
Both Democrats and Republicans to this day still glorify their persecution of J6-ers. They still triumphantly trumpet the righteousness of their treatment and rumination of lives they pointed at and screamed “”J’accuse!!”
I had to gasp for air yesterday when I saw the face of that terrified 14 year old which Sundance posted…
Too many disjointed thoughts for me this morning.
Dear God………………
Good morning, Betsy. Maybe I am wrong, though I am optimistic today.
I will admit however, when I watched the Promethean Action video last night of the Anne Appelbaum glorifying the ‘J6’ investigation and requesting a repeat, I was in a very foul mood.
It is because of people like Anne Appelbaum that I wrote Blue Skies and Golden Grains. As a result, I was blacklisted in local music circles, though I have no regrets.
As I said last night, it is not possible to hate these people enough.

Power and greed
Two sides of the same coin
Thus has it always been….
Pelosi clapping like a seal she’s so giddy!
Those who with their machinations keep this slaughter going are truly evil. It is heart-rending to see this.
And all for the $%$% love of money and power! SPIT!!!God bless them!
Should have gotten out back in February of 2025. Even Rubio wanted out but we didn’t. I don’t recognize So Called Ukraine. For me it’s a made a up Soviet Republic. I know all about this place (and what was the Soviet Union) from my sport so I don’t need a lecture.
If you recall, it was the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Kinda like our Democratic Socialists of America or the National Socialist German Workers party.
If Rubio wanted “out” in 2025, then why in God’s name did he co-sponsor legislation in 2024 to keep us “in?” As soon as Donald Trump unexpectedly won the presidency in 2024, CONgress couldn’t vote fast enough for legislation to prevent our president from unilaterally exiting NATO without first obtaining CONgressional authorization to do so.
Rubio has effectively locked President Trump into this war.
Yay Marco -please clap- Rubio.
That is for NATO. Not So Called Ukraine. So Called Ukraine isn’t even part of the EU.
Trunp still sending money and ammo?
If you wonder, check Lavrovs recent statement at the G20.
Keep supporting the guy rubbing your nose in it. Or at a minimum, a figure head not in control.
You seem to be confused about which part of our gubmint spends tax 💰💰.
Well said.
Ukraine, CIA, NATO, London and Brussels are the war criminals. The same war criminals that created the conditions for the war to start in the first place.
Pray PDJT can form an alliance with Russia and end this war. Not easy to do since the most powerful forces in the history of mankind are against peace and basic human rights.
And EU
I am optimistic since Russians are a Christian nation determined to defend their sovereignty, and President Trump has re-committed our nation to it’s founding principles, one nation under God.
I’m beginning to understand now why God demands that *we* all choose a side in the fight between good versus evil, and why he warns the squishy fence-sitters who are neither hot nor cold that they will soon be spewed from his mouth.
The Word of God is absolute. Having the courage of our convictions means exactly that. It is time to put our faith to the test and *stand* with President Trump in this fight instead of looking on from the cheap seats.
I wonder who were the “citizens” that bravely showed up?
If the military age men are pretty much gone/conscripted, I’m thinking it had to be mostly women, children, and the elderly.
Brave souls.
Of course, Zelensky is also enslaving women and children for his Sex Trafficking Networks.
He’s an Equal Opportunity $laver, courtesy of the American Uniparty, NATO, the CIA and the dictators of Europe.
Women are certainly being used. A relative has a female friend from there who is required to “serve”, with no clue whether she is still alive.
Real Nazis and real horrors. No wonder Zelensky won’t hold an election.
Just what Elissa Slotkin and her ilk have in mind.
Should put her in with them on the front lines, with NO protection of ANY kind!
I agree with you, fake Pegon
And to think Ukraine was once the bread basket of Europe before the sword of communism, Lenin/Stalin befell them
Satin is giggling
Mammon is a greedy god, and he demands ever more blood sacrifices. As long as the blood flows out of Z boy’s own countrymen, the money will keep flowing into his pockets. Not only is this acceptable to Z boy, but he will probably die trying to keep this going forever. When that time comes, I hope that his globalist enablers die with him.
Further documentation. Armstrong Economics 1.26.2026 blog post: 2 Million Draft Evaders WANTED By Ukraine
The videos linked in the article of forced conscription being enacted are very disturbing. Z-man is a war criminal.
FTA: Zelensky is forcing a generation to perish in this endless war with Russia and NATO. Recent reports indicate that 200,000 soldiers have gone AWOL (absent without leave), and for perspective, that is more soldiers than the entire UK military. Ukraine’s new Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov warned that the government is hunting down two million Ukrainians who are wanted for evading mobilization.
“Today, we cannot fight with new technologies, with an old organizational structure,” Fedorov said in a televised warning. “Our goal is to change the system, carry out army reforms, improve the infrastructure on the front, to eradicate lies and corruption, to instill leadership, and a new culture of trust.”
The age of conscription was lowered from 27 to 25 back in April 2024. Zelensky has demanded that men from 25 up to 60 years of age join mobilization efforts. Ukraine has a population of 40 million, and 2 million evaders represent a significant portion of men, but only six months ago, reports indicated that 6 million men were wanted for evading the draft.
Everything comes with a price tag in Ukraine. The alleged cost for organized desertion begins in the $7,000 rage, and some reports have stated individuals were able to remove themselves from wanted registry lists for $3,500. Men have attempted to flee to neighboring Belarus, Romania, and Hungary. Romania reportedly detained over 10,000 attempted evaders in 2025 alone. There is little room for escape; everyone must comply with Zelensky’s death orders.
The punishment for going AWOL during wartime is five to 12 years imprisonment, but the Defense Ministry needs those men on the battlefield. Europe is eager to step in once Ukraine decimates a generation of men and permanently alters its demographic. The men in Europe have no say on the matter either. Governments can temporarily rely on the economic downturn to attract new recruits, but there simply are not enough men available to play in the neocon war games. Drafts will happen worldwide once World War III breaks out.
Conscripts receive two weeks of training before battle. The government has resorted to “busification” or kidnapping to force men to comply with the draft. Soldiers are expected to fight until they are killed to too badly injured to continue fighting. Reports state that there is little rotation from the frontlines as Zelensky has simply run out of men and plans to use the remaining troops as cannon fodder.
Sentiment is quite different when people believe in cause. The current war has dragged on for four years, no progress has been made on peace deals or treaties, and the scope has widened significantly due to the globalist neocons who have been patiently waiting to join the battle. The elites demand destruction from the safety of their glass castles while millions live in fear, hiding from the death and destruction that awaits them.

Evading the Vietnamese draft is what most of the democrats did in the 60’s/70’s, what’s their position on these “draft evaders”?
I’m sure Canada would gladly send their Canadian soldiers over to be fodder for Z Cocaine Boy..Carney is that corrupt
This is the exact example of why Americans will never give up their firearms. It crushes the soul to learn of this abuse and Zelensky is directly responsible. NOT A DIME MORE TO UKRAINE!
As Gonzo Lira explained early on….Azov have very deep Nazi roots, they hate j’s../ but hate Russians more!
RIP Gonzo
I wish all the armchair warriors would fully understand and accept your opening premise: “War is hell”, and that there are very few rules restraining violence in every imaginable (and unimaginable) form once it begins.
There may be reasons to fight Russia one day. Ukraine and the interests of globalist leftist Europe are not it.
Where is Neil Young when you need him the most…. I’m sure he could find words to protest this evil.
Just watch the documentary “Ukraine Einsatzgruppen “ . UKraine couldn’t wait to get their Nazi on. MURDERED 1 million of its own citizens. Jews AND Russians Then read about the Babi Yar.
This has been going on ever since the 100s of billions started flowing to Ukraine.
Can we stop the charade of Witkoff and Kushner making endless excursions to try and talk a deal that will leave the current Ukrainian government in power and continue the corruption by sending more 100s of billions for ”reconstruction”
There are always kickbacks to Western politicians who are Ok with everything that Ukraine is doing.
Stop talking; it’s a farce.
Unplug Starlink and end the war you claim you want to end, but can’t seem to end.
Europe has finally fallen to the Nazis. It only took 81 years. Still trying to take over Russia. USA cannot figure out which side to be on.
Disgusting all of it! This is what we support with our tax dollars, military supplies, military aid, intelligence and honey pot American dollars? Shame on Congress! Shame on us! President Trump stop this war! JMO
Now that europe has become nazified, “…tear down this wall….” may not have been as glorious as once considered.
With treatment like this from their own government, it’s no wonder why so many regions of Ukraine are pro-Russian!
Putin (who is no boy scout!) would likely treat the Ukrainians much better than Lil’ Z! Note that I’m not suggesting that Ukraine should not be independent, just the opposite. They should be independent of the EU’s proxy war against Russia and independent of the CIA’s regime change schemes. Ukraine’s people should hang Lil’ Z and his henchmen from the nearest convenient lamp post and then form a new government.
Rioting with a purpose. Maybe Nawroki (sp) could provide them with guns?
