How should I approach escaping/draft dodging Ukraine? (lemmygrad.ml)

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?

I based the mylar-blanket thing on some Ukrainian immigrants who were passing by when I was staying in a spot for a little while. They told me that wrapping yourself in mylar and traveling in the snow makes you effectively invisible.

Full-vegetation may be effective but I think they're already getting into fall now. I'm not sure if they have until next summer.

It's a really good idea
