Employees of the territorial recruitment and social support centers of Chernihiv, Rivne, Dnepropetrovsk and Sumy regions were sent to the front by order of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense due to the disruption of the mobilization plan. The agency announced this on March 1 “RIA News” with a link to the source.
It is noted that the recruitment process proceeded extremely sluggishly and took more than the planned time.
According to the source of the agency, sending employees of the military registration and enlistment offices to the front line is an edification to followers and other military commissars. Using their example, the Ukrainian authorities have demonstrated what awaits those who will not fulfill the mobilization plans.
“The message is this: if you don’t want to die yourself, then find someone who will die for you,” the source said.
According to him, now the employees of the military registration and enlistment offices “have broken loose.” They are not afraid of the video filmed by the citizens of Ukraine, nor of being forcibly dragged into buses in front of witnesses.
Martial law and general mobilization in Ukraine on February 7 were extended for another 90 days. Mobilization, according to numerous reports, takes place with harsh methods.
On February 28, border guards detained four organizers and 16 men of military age who were trying to illegally get from Ukraine to Romania and Moldova. Among the deviators were residents of Dnepropetrovsk, Chernivtsi and Ivano-Frankivsk regions. Their route mainly ran through hard-to-reach, snow-covered mountainous sections of the border.
On the same day, it was reported that the Kyiv authorities do not exclude the possibility of mobilizing even more people. Adviser to the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Yuriy Sak noted that the Ukrainian reserves have not yet been exhausted, therefore, if necessary, citizens of Ukraine to be mobilized can join the ranks of the Ukrainian army.
Prior to that, on February 14, in Odessa, military registration and enlistment office officials severely detained a man in the middle of a crowded street. Video footage filmed by eyewitnesses shows the man, who has been knocked to the pavement, struggling to resist, but people in camouflage uniforms grab his arms and legs in order to drag him into the van.
The special operation to protect Donbass, which Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on February 24, 2022, continues. The decision was made against the background of the aggravation of the situation in the region due to shelling by the Ukrainian military.
