DISINFO: The new Ukrainian mobilisation law will cause a shortage of strawberry pickers in Poland

SUMMARY

In Poland, they fear there will be no one to pick strawberries in the country because of the new Ukrainian law on total mobilisation. According to the owner of a Polish employment agency, the reduction of the mobilisation age from 27 to 25 in Ukraine will lead to a shortage of Ukrainian manual workers on strawberry farms.

RESPONSE

Pro-Kremlin disinformation claim about mobilisation in Ukraine, aimed at demoralising and dividing society, as well as about Ukraine’s alleged desperation on the battlefield.

The new Ukrainian mobilisation law will not have any impact on the Polish labour market because Ukrainian men of draft age already face the most serious legal limitations in crossing the border.

Read similar disinformation claims that the Kyiv regime is desperately mobilising women into the army, that Kyiv is about to send children, women and elderly into battle under Western demands, that The West is forcing Ukraine to send minors to the front, that Ukraine is preparing a total mobilisation of women, that Ukraine is training pensioners as tank crews because its military reserves are gone, that Residents burned down the enlistment office in Kharkiv because of the forced mobilisation, or that Ukrainian mobilisation is genocide against Russian-speaking population.
