Opinion: Ukrainian draft dodgers are not cowards, writer argues
Original: Opinion | My Friend Is a Draft Dodger in Ukraine. He’s Not a Coward.
A New York Times opinion piece argues that a Ukrainian man avoiding mobilization should not be judged a coward. The author portrays him as someone making a difficult personal choice amid Ukraine's ongoing war effort and contentious draft. The essay adds to a wider debate inside and outside Ukraine about mobilization, exemptions, and the morality of refusing to serve.
Why now: Ukraine's contested wartime mobilization is prompting fresh debate over the ethics of draft avoidance.
