Russians forcibly mobilize up to 50 percent of factory workers in occupied Luhansk region - CPD
Kyiv • UNN
The occupiers are forcibly sending enterprise workers and laid-off miners to war. Mobilization plans cover up to half of the production staff.
Against the backdrop of the deteriorating economic situation in the temporarily occupied Luhansk region, Russia has intensified its campaign of forced recruitment of industrial workers for the war. This was reported by the Center for Countering Disinformation of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine (CCD), informs UNN.
Details
It is noted that enterprises are given plans to mobilize from 25% to 50% of their employees.
This practice effectively undermines the remnants of the region's economic base. Enterprises lose personnel, and production processes stop or are reduced.
It is also indicated that subpoenas are received by miners who have lost their jobs or have been laid off. The relevant lists are submitted to the military commissariats in advance.
"This indicates a targeted policy where socially vulnerable groups become the primary target for Russian mobilization. Despite all the propaganda statements about 'care' and promises of 'prosperity', Russia does not even try to provide people in the temporarily occupied territories with work and decent living conditions, but simply uses them as a resource to compensate for the losses of its army in the war against Ukraine," the CCD summarizes.
Recall
In occupied Luhansk, Russians intensified the mobilization of the local population into their armed forces. The occupiers pay special attention to individuals under 30 years of age, who are potentially going to be thrown into "meat assaults."
