Occupants in Kherson region forcibly mobilize local residents

Agents of the ATES movement reported a critical situation with personnel in the Russian troops in the southern direction, in particular, in Genichesk. Due to heavy losses and an acute shortage of manpower, the occupiers are forced to use new methods of forced recruitment.

This is stated on the pages of the resistance movement on social media.

This indicates that the current mobilization and contracting campaigns do not cover the needs of the front, and the losses of the Russian army remain high.

The local occupation authorities and the commandant's office use every opportunity to detain residents for minor 'violations'. The detainees are illegally held in the premises of the commandant's office.

There, using threats, pressure and blackmail, people are forced to sign contracts with the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Activists of the ATES movement note that this method is evidence that the occupation regime is not able to cope with recruitment in the South and resorts to open abduction and coercion of people to join its ranks.

It has also become known that new cases of abduction of men for forced mobilization into the ranks of the Russian occupation army have been recorded in the temporarily occupied territory of the Kherson region. Recently, the guerrillas of theAnti-Z resistance movement reported a new wave of abductions of TOT residents for the purpose of forcing 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' assault 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.
