Ukrainians Paying Up To $10,000 To Dodge The Draft
Thousands of Ukrainian men have paid large sums in bribes to avoid getting drafted during the ongoing conflict between Kiev and Moscow, the Financial Times reported on Saturday.
The news comes as Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky launched a massive military purge, sacking the regional military conscription officials and citing the multiple corruption scandals rocking the country. According to Kiev's plan, the recruitment officials are set to be replaced by combat veterans.
Throughout the ongoing conflict, thousands of Ukrainians have escaped the draft through various schemes in a culture of corruption. Kiev banned men aged between 18 and 60 from leaving the country when it first introduced martial law in February 2022, but the move only fueled more corrupt practices. One of the most popular options was buying medical exemption papers for some $6,000 on average, the FT reported.

Briton Who Killed Terminally Ill Wife Freed After Sentencing
On Monday, a British man, David Hunter, who was found guilty of manslaughter for killing his terminally ill wife in Cyprus, was released after effectively serving the time already.
He told a Cyprus court she had blood cancer and "begged him" to take her life because she was in so much pain. He complied with her wishes in December 2021, causing her death by asphyxiation at their retirement home in Paphos.
The case may serve as a significant test for a country that does not allow assisted dying and could potentially influence discussions on euthanasia under medical supervision in Cyprus's parliament later this year, according to media reports.
