Men kidnapped in Kherson region to be forced to take part in attacks

New cases of abductions of men for forced mobilization into the ranks of the Russian occupation army have been recorded in the temporarily occupied territory of Kherson region.

Recently, partisans of the Anti-Z resistance movement reported a new wave of abductions of TOT residents to force them to sign contracts.

According to them, the occupation army is deliberately using people from the TOT as "cannon fodder". They are the first to be thrown into the 'M' attack companies, where the level of losses is the highest. This indicates the use of the population of the occupied territories to minimize losses among the Russian military personnel and is another war crime.

Disappearances of local residents have been recorded, in particular, in Kalanchak, Skadovsk, and the Novotroitsk community. According to the National Resistance Center, during the so-called inspections , Russian security forces take men and force them to sign contracts with the aggressor's army under severe pressure.

The occupiers use physical and moral pressure to coerce them. Men are threatened that without "service" their families will not be allowed to live normally, promising problems with work, documents and "security" for their loved ones.

In the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, a scheme of forced mobilization involving falsification of contracts with the Russian Armed Forces was previously recorded.

It involves stealing passport data of civilians to sign contracts. This fraudulent scheme affects not only men. The criminals are actively obtaining personal data, in particular via the Internet: they act under the guise of 'employers' who offer employment and require a passport scan for verification. In reality, this data ends up in the hands of Russian military structures, which use it to falsely sign contracts.
