Kyiv • UNN
Occupiers detain men on the streets and, through threats, force them to sign contracts with the Russian army. In Berdiansk, at least 17 people were recruited this way in a week.
In the occupied part of the Zaporizhzhia region, the enemy has intensified forced mobilization through street detentions and document checks. This was reported by the Center for Countering Disinformation of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine (CPD), informs UNN.
Details
It is noted that in Berdiansk, men are taken to "commandant's offices," where they are forced to sign contracts with the Russian Ministry of Defense through psychological pressure and threats of criminal cases.
In the last week, at least 17 people were forcibly recruited in this way.
It is indicated that Russia previously actively used a similar practice of forced contract service on its own territory. Now, the occupation authorities are gradually transferring this scheme to the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.
Recall
In the temporarily occupied territories, universities are actively recruiting students into the Russian army. In Mariupol, young people are being urged to sign one-year service contracts.
