The occupiers make up for the shortage of enlisted personnel by Ukrainians in the captured lands, who are forcibly mobilized into their army.
For example, in the village of Portivske (Mariupol district), the occupiers forcibly rounded up all men under 40. They loaded them on a bus and sent them to the “army”. There were so many mobilized in Alchevsk that the women rioted and tried to block the bus before it left.
Note that the Russians hardly equip or train the so-called soldiers. DPR and LPR before being sent to the front. The Kremlin benefits from the death of Ukrainians, regardless of which side they are fighting for, because they are only interested in the territory.
Therefore, Ukraine’s Resistance Center reminds us that voluntary surrender will save the life of a mobilized soldier. For information on how to surrender to a prisoner of war, servicemen of the Russian army or their relatives should call the 24-hour numbers: +38 066 580 34 98 and +38 093 119 29 84.
Information about the surrender is available in Russian on the “I want to live” Telegram channel.
At the same time, we call on the residents of the temporarily occupied territories to leave the region for the duration of hostilities, if possible, so as not to become human shields for the occupier.
