In Odesa, commercial advertisements have appeared from fortune tellers offering “protection spells” against military enlistment offices (TRC), reports Strana, citing local social media. These so-called "white magicians" promise that after undergoing their ritual, military recruiters will be unable to see the client because they will be “shrouded in an illusion.”
Additionally, these fortune tellers claim to predict missile strikes and injuries. One of them, Lara, insists that she works "according to ancient rituals." However, she does not specify exactly when in history such rituals were used to hide men from enlistment offices.
Previously, the UOJ reported that, according to research by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology, nearly half of Ukrainians believe in esotericism, astrology, and Tarot cards.
