News about the problem

Hey, it's been a while since I've written about how this whole horror is going for me.
Every week TCK (military enlistment office) officers are standing under my yard, breaking in, banging on the gate, but they haven't entered yet. My mental and physical condition is at an extreme low. Very frequent panic attacks, constant anxiety, even drawing is becoming very difficult as I have to constantly look at the camera, afraid of every sound of a passing car as it could be a TCK car where people with machine guns have come to take me to war.
Yesterday there is a new bill that is very restrictive on human rights that just might destroy all hope for a normal life.
Here is a link to the bill itself:
https://itd.rada.gov.ua/billInfo/Bills/Card/43451
It is very difficult to draw as my hands are shaking from nerves, I will try to draw until they block my bank account....
Ukraine is no longer a democratic country, it is a dictatorship where the authorities abuse people, yes, it is not common to talk about it, but it is true.
There is no freedom of speech here, no freedom of thought, anything you say against the ruling party is equated to treason.
And if you are Ukrainian, male and 18 years old, you are essentially a resource for the authorities. And it's terrible...
And I can't leave here, there are roadblocks on all the roads, they won't let me out at the border, it's not safe at home and I don't know what to do and how to live on....

You may feel cornered, rightfuly so, and hope might seem foolish right now, but every minute you're not being thrown into the meat-grinder of war is a victory in itself, a victory for your life. I promise you that eventually, this madness will end, although I don't expect the tyranny and the abuse to cease with the coming of peace, at least a life without war will already be a giant leap forward for everyone.
Stay as calm and collected as you can, too many conscious objectors are sacrified on the holy altar of "duty".
The present might be bleak, but you still have the mean to sustain yourself, that's already a lot more than others. If the absolute worst case scenario come to pass, I can only suggest an undeniable "discharge argument", a broken ankle/foot/leg usually does the trick. But only as a last possible resort, don't harm yourself for nothing, for I don't know how well you'll be able to be effectively treated health-wise.
(Another of the novelties of the mobilization bill is the possibility to mobilize group 3 disabled people.
And here are selected diseases from there:
▪️ absence of one eye, blindness in one eye;
▪️ paralysis of the hand, stump of the upper limb, absence of fingers;
▪️ stump of the femur or tibia. Shortening of the leg by 7 centimeters or more;
▪️ absence of a kidney, lung, or bladder;
▪️ castration in males;
▪️ an inoperable jaw defect where a person cannot chew normally and loses weight.)
Don't give in, and stay safe, my former point still stands, each minute you're not put in mortal danger is a win.
no good could ever come from forcing those who can't and won't fight into the army ranks.
This war is supposed to be about Ukraine fighting to be a democracy,
to stay free from the tyranny of Russia and its corrupt and oppressive laws.
Ukraine can and will win this war, and it won't need to needlessly sacrifice your life to do it.
Know that you are not a deserter, or a traitor, and anything like that --
you are a person whose life and dignity has value, and who has the right to live as you see fit,
even in the times of war. Any laws that say otherwise are wrong.
Hold on and stay strong, and may everything turn out well for you!
Thank you for sharing your situation with us!
It sounds like a rather inefficient method of "force generation".
Didn't want to clog up my journal with this as it happens so often :<
