Faced with the reality on the battlefield, Ukrainian “superheroes” have changed their minds about fighting, Le Figaro writes.
Men are looking for ways to dodge the draft. The number of deserters is also growing. Neither criminal penalties nor the fabulous sums they have to pay for fake certificates stop them.

Conscript Ivan Ishchenko saw what gunshots were doing to a man and decided to flee. To do so, he had to pay a fortune in bribes. Another Ukrainian evader, who wished to remain anonymous, paid a bribe of $5,000. For this money, a car with a government licence plate dropped him off in a forest near the Hungarian border, from where he was able to enter Hungary illegally through a hole in the fence.
