Conscription squads send Ukrainian men into hiding | BBC News

It’s been more than two years since Ukraine was invaded by Russian forces and now Moscow’s offensive is getting ever more intense.

With many of its soldiers dead, injured or exhausted, the Ukrainian government has stepped up its efforts to mobilise more men.
