Ukraine has recorded over 620 attacks on enlistment officers since Russia's full-scale invasion began. The Kyiv Oblast Draft Center reported this on April 17, citing the National Police. Kharkiv Oblast saw the most incidents with 69 cases, followed by Kyiv with 53 and Dnipropetrovsk Oblast with 45. The attacks have intensified amid growing tensions around conscription and mounting strain on Ukraine's mobilization system. Men aged 25 to 60 are eligible for the draft since the introduction of martial law. Reports of recruitment officers forcibly detaining men on the streets have become more common, contributing to growing tensions and violent attacks.
