El Pais: Why Ukrainians adopted by Spanish families may have to go to war
* Victims of the Chernobyl disaster living in Spain are receiving call-up letters from Kiev
* Many of the youngsters fear they will be sent to fight against pro-Russian militias
A simple letter has completely changed the stable lives of Tola and Yura, two Ukrainian youngsters aged 18 and 16 who live in Spain. The government in Kiev has called them up to serve their obligatory military service. They have been instructed to report to their corresponding delegation to be subjected to a medical test. Since they received the notification, the pair have barely slept. Should they be judged fit, they will be taken to a training camp and prepared for life on the front line of the ongoing conflict in their country, in which nearly 5,700 people have already died, according to the United Nations.

It reeks of desperation .. similar to when the Hitler youth were sent out when all was already lost .. in a desperate attempt to save the Chancellery inhabitants ..
Can't see how they can force them to go, unless they get the Spanish authorities involved. (I've not read the whole article, so maybe that is the case)
If I had gotten such a letter, I'd rip it up and toss it away and see what happens.
This is very stupid and desperate.
Does Petro Poroshenko have any sons or grandsons fighting?
