In the Ru-Uk war I’ve seen and heard of men asking their pals to break their limbs by either jumping or landing a sledgehammer on them. In Chechen\Afgan wars it was popular too, but also gasoline injections into muscles usually leading to amputations of said limbs. Dodging by behaving like unhealthy or insane was always an option, but as I’ve heard, since it became too popular, recruiting centers started to ignore any disability as long as they can drag you into a van. Are there other creative ways to dodge the draft?
In Russia? Nah. There’re exclusions for men with 2-3+ kids and solitary caretakers, but they are conditional and need to be proved - if someone at the recruitment center would listen. No extra money, even if you’d sign a contract with AF, just some slight benefits for your children if you do so. Can’t say about Ukraine or other countries.
Mental and physical incapacities are written into your recruitment ID and your dossier, so they may work before you’ve even been ordered to appear in a recruitment center.
