Young Ukrainians scared to leave their homes as more and more videos emerge of forced conscription
Meanwhile, some conscription officers are making small fortunes by looking the other way as Ukraine’s youth does all it can to avoid being sent to the frontline
As Ukraine’s manpower on its frontlines starts to dwindle, military leaders are becoming increasingly desperate to locate new recruits to propel its counteroffensive against Russia forward; however, the number of young people volunteering for such a challenge has plummeted.
Recent videos of young Ukrainian men being conscripted across the country have circulated in popular encrypted messaging apps in Ukraine, and those fearful of being sent to the front are actively engaging in evasive and, in some instances, illegal tactics to avoid such a fate.
The brutal mobilization by Ukrainian military recruitment officers of young men has been occurring for a year and a half now, Hungarian newspaper Magyar Nemzet reports.
“Many conscripted men are taken straight off the street by uniformed men,” it states. “Most recently in Subcarpathia, a surveillance camera recorded the overreach of the authorities as a man trying to go to a store was kidnapped from his bicycle in broad daylight.”
The man was abducted right on a street during the day by police and conscription officers in a small village in the Municipal District of Munkács, with his bicycle left in the road.

WATCH: Deputy Punches Mother Twice as She Holds Her Infant Son
“You’ll have to shoot me dead before you take my baby”
In another alarming episode of law enforcement brutality, a Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputy was caught on camera punching a mother who was holding her infant during a traffic stop in Palmdale, a suburb northeast of Los Angeles, in July 2022. Sheriff Robert Luna has condemned the incident as "completely unacceptable," and the deputy involved, whose name has yet to be released, has been taken off field duty and disciplined — allegedly.
The shocking body cam footage reveals a tense scene, with five officers surrounding the woman as she refuses to hand over her child, saying, "You're all gonna have to shoot me dead before you take my baby."
Unforgivably, one male deputy responds to her desperation by throwing two punches at her head. Eventually, the officers took the baby and put the woman in handcuffs.
According to the department, the incident began as a traffic stop when officers saw four females and three infants in a vehicle, none of whom were in car seats. The male driver was arrested for DUI and driving with a suspended license. The women, including the mother who was punched, were not charged — although they were initially held on suspicion of child endangerment for not having the children in car seats.
Unironically, the officer "protected" the baby from her mother's lack of a car seat by punching the mother, which could've caused her to drop the infant.
“I still believe this is an isolated incident that was committed by an individual that will be held accountable, make no mistake about that,” Luna said Wednesday.
While Luna believes this incident is isolated, history and evidence suggest otherwise. This horrifying incident isn't an anomaly, but rather part of a chilling pattern of police aggression towards individuals holding children or babies.
In 2018, The Free Thought Project reported a similar case where Inkster, Mich. officers tasered a father as he held his 9-month-old baby. In another incident, a police officer in Broward County, Florida, attacked and choked an innocent father as he held his baby in 2019. As recently as 2021, we covered the heart-breaking story in Houston, Texas, in which a baby was killed as officers opened fire on the mother and father.

IMF Hints Allowing Countries to Use Chinese Yuan for Debt Repayment
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has hinted that it may accept the Chinese Yuan as a currency for countries to settle their obligations with the IMF following Argentina’s recent debt repayment in yuan.
IMF spokesperson Julie Kozack confirmed on Thursday that Argentina had paid off part of its debts—equivalent to $1.1 billion of the $2.7 billion that matured last month—with the IMF in Chinese currency.
“As we have stated in the past, the Argentine authorities continue to remain current on their financial obligations to the IMF,” Ms. Kozack said at a press briefing.
“The RMB is one of the five freely usable currencies that members can and have used to settle their obligations with the IMF,” she added, referring to the Chinese currency by its official name, the renminbi.
Ms. Kozack said that negotiations on the $44-billion program are still ongoing. She denied that the IMF received a letter from China stating it would allow Argentina to use a swap line with the Chinese Central Bank to pay off its IMF dues.
“Our team has been working intensively with the Argentine authorities to make progress toward the completion of the fifth review. And to help the authorities address a very complex and challenging situation,” she said.
“In terms of the details of those discussions, because the teams are still in discussion, I will not pre-empt those discussions, and I will not get into the details other than to say that the discussions are frequent, and they are aimed at advancing the program.”
“With respect to a couple of the other questions on the letter, [our] understanding is that there is no such letter,” Ms. Kozack added.
Argentina’s Central Bank signed a deal with China last month to renew the 130 billion yuan ($18.4 billion) swap line for another three years, doubling the amount of freely accessible funds from 35 billion yuan ($5 billion) to 70 billion yuan ($10 billion).
Argentina’s Ministry of Economy said the swap would be in a single tranche and freely available for any type of financial operation, adding that the country would look to promote more yuan spot and future operations.
On June 29, the bank said it had incorporated the yuan as a currency accepted for deposits in savings banks and checking accounts, signaling a departure from the U.S. dollar as its sole official reserve currency.
“Financial entities will thus be enabled to open bank accounts denominated in renminbi yuan,” the bank stated.
The move comes as the South American nation’s foreign currency reserves plummeted due to a severe drought that has reduced grain exports, its major source of dollar earnings, and the peso currency has weakened under the weight of 109 percent annual inflation.
Ahead of general elections in October, Argentina’s government is trying to rebuild reserves to make debt payments, cover trade costs, and meet economic targets under a $44 billion loan program with the IMF.
