Ukraine’s Parliamentary Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets has warned that corruption and rights violations in the country’s mobilization system have reached a dangerous level, with a “turnkey” service allegedly allowing men to be smuggled across the border directly from military recruitment vans for up to $70,000.Lubinets made the comments in an interview with Ukrainian media outlet Ukrainska Pravda published on Tuesday, Sept. 1.JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official.He said the cost of escaping from a Territorial Recruitment Center (TRC) could reach $10,000, while being released from inside a TRC could cost $15,000.“One of the latest stories that we are still confirming: in a border region, a new ‘turnkey’ service has appeared – a person can pay $50,000–$70,000, and then they are taken directly from the bus across Ukraine’s border,” Lubinets said.According to the ombudsman, corruption has become particularly widespread in Ukraine’s Zakarpattia region, while he said similar problems were much less common in frontline regions such as Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv.Lubinets attributed the growth of corruption to what he described as failed state policy on mobilization.“We have come very close” to a point of no returnLubinets said complaints about mobilization-related rights violations increased dramatically after 2024, when forced recruitment practices became more widespread.In his account, authorities began setting monthly mobilization targets of around 30,000 people across Ukraine. The pressure to meet those targets contributed to people being taken into military recruitment centers regardless of their health or eligibility, he said.
