Long story short - I have slightly more than a year left before I'm legally required to serve in the Ukrainian military, not that it matters that much since they grab people off the streets anyway, but it will be an even bigger problem since I will officially have no "excuse" not to serve and will have to hide or escape before then, and it doesn't look like the war will end for the next god knows how many years. Has anyone here draft-dodged or escaped their country in a similar manner before? If so, any advice on how to do so?

Thank you very much, this is indeed of great interest to me. I would really appreciate it if you could get in touch, and I understand that this is a shot in the dark rather than a guarantee. I will also look into the org thing, if there's a snowball in hell's chance I'll take it.
