The invaders are mobilizing Ukrainian medics who remain in the occupied territories. In particular, in the city of Vovchansk (Kharkiv region), junior medical staff are forcibly sent to the front to provide first aid to the Russian wounded soldiers. In case of refusal, doctors are threatened with execution.
Mobilization activities have also been launched against young people from the local population in the occupied territories of Kherson, Zaporizhia, and Kharkiv oblasts.
In order to ensure mobilization measures, the possibility of leaving the Kherson region for the territories controlled by Ukraine is almost completely blocked. The option of leaving for the Russian Federation is significantly limited.
In the Zaporizhzhia region, Russian servicemen and FSB officers are looking for conscripts. It is reported that they are to replenish the combat units of the Russian Federation in the most problematic areas.
These measures are carried out despite the predominantly pro-Ukrainian attitude of the population of the regions and the general motivation to resist the Russian invaders.
