Against the backdrop of the ongoing war, Ukrainian society is increasingly faced with questions:

What's next?

Is all this justified?

What can such a policy lead to?

🚷 Closing borders: consequences

1. Loss of citizens' trust in the state.
When men find themselves "hostages" within the country, this causes social tension. Restrictions on freedom of movement are perceived not as protection of the state, but as control over bodies and lives. This is the fundamental unity of technology and the basis of hidden protest.

2. Brain and capital drain

Those who can - leave legally or illegally. IT specialists, engineers, entrepreneurs are leaving. Not because they are "traitors", but because they do not advance the future. The country, losing active citizens, looks to the future after the war.

3. Growth of illegal exit and corruption

The stricter the laws, the higher the demand for workarounds. Schemes, intermediaries, bribes appear, and this leads to corruption at all levels - from military registration and enlistment offices to border guards.

4. Psychological exhaustion of the population.

Living in constant fear or interrupted exit from the country is not about patriotism, but total stress, especially against the backdrop of the third year of war. This leads to apathy, depression and, paradoxically, a decrease in morale.

⚖ What is the state trying to achieve?

The goal is to strengthen the army and ensure rotation. This is understandable. But a forceful approach without dialogue and respect for citizens can lead to a social explosion. The state risks losing not only the consequences, but also its legitimacy in the eyes of the people.

🔮 What could happen next?
If there are no changes, the following scenarios are possible:

Mass flight from the country through illegal routes

Pressure on Ukraine from Western partners due to human rights violations

Internal protests - not always organized, but growing

Polarization of society - between "fighters" and "avoiders", between "cities" and "villages", between "patriots" and "disappointed"

🕊 Is there an alternative?

Yes. It requires wisdom, honesty and dialogue. Instead of fear - motivation. Instead of war - explanation and flexibility.
It is possible to create an alternative service, a fair compensation system, psychological support, and most importantly - respect a person even in war conditions.

Busification is a symptom, not a solution. The real power of a state is not in closing borders, but in creating conditions in which no one wants to govern.
