Media reports across Europe, including notable outlets such as The Telegraph and Politico, are highlighting a significant surge in the number of young men fleeing Ukraine. This exodus is largely driven by the desire to avoid conscription, which would likely send them to the front lines, facing the risk of certain death.
According to The Telegraph, nearly 100,000 men of fighting age have left Ukraine in the past two months. This increase follows Volodymyr Zelensky’s decision to ease departure restrictions, allowing more people to cross the border.
The data primarily comes from the Polish border guard. Poland, sharing a lengthy border with Ukraine, has been a key destination for refugees since the war began. The country has maintained strict records and careful counts of those crossing its borders, providing valuable insight into the scale of this recent movement.
