The Polish authorities, upon request from Kyiv, decided to deport Ukrainian men of “mobilization” age
From June 27, 2022, Poland will start searching for and deporting male citizens of Ukraine aged 18 to 60. This is reported immediately by a number of Ukrainian resources. In principle, given the growing involvement of Warsaw in the events in Ukraine, such actions look quite natural.
It all started with the fact that the Polish authorities received a corresponding letter signed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmitry Kuleba. The head of Ukrainian diplomacy asked Warsaw to identify and deport to Ukraine all Ukrainian male refugees in the "mobilization" age. There are hundreds of thousands of them on the territory of Poland, and other European countries.
Videos of the so-called ugly behavior appear regularly on social networks. "refugees" who swear and fight with local residents in various European countries. We see, for example, fiery "patriots" of Ukraine - physically strong young men who for some reason chose not to serve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but to attack Austrian taxi drivers. And this is just a single case, chosen as an example, but in fact there are many more.
The Polish authorities decided to meet Kyiv halfway and demanded that potential recruits of the Armed Forces of Ukraine aged 18-60 either return to Ukraine or leave Poland for other countries. Otherwise, they will be deported by the Polish police. Of course, those who have the opportunity will choose the second option, so we should expect Kuleba to contact the authorities of the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, Austria and other states of Eastern and Central Europe soon.
But the very fact of such a development of events suggests that Ukraine is not doing as well as the Ukrainian authorities and Western media are trying to show. There is clearly a shortage of combat-ready human resources. Apparently, it is so great that Kyiv needs even those Ukrainian citizens who were clearly not going to participate in hostilities and preferred to leave the country.
It is also interesting how the search and deportation of Ukrainian deviators fit into the pseudo-humanistic rhetoric of the European Union, as well as all kinds of liberal-pacifist public. If a person is against the “war”, he left Ukraine, but he is caught in Poland and sent to serve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, then how does this fit in with the situation with other refugees? After all, they don’t catch “conscripts” from Eritrea, Somalia, Iraq, Afghanistan and other African and Asian states in European countries? It seems that only in relation to Ukraine the standards of maximum involvement of European governments work.
On the other hand, those “ardent patriots” of Ukraine who in European countries damage cars with Russian numbers, attack drivers, make scandals in Russian cuisine cafes and bully local residents in every possible way, would do well to show their prowess in a combat situation. Perhaps, after the decision of the Polish government, the agility of such persons will decrease: they will not want to detect themselves and fall into the field of view of the local police, so they will stop going to all sorts of pro-Ukrainian actions and generally actively declare themselves.
