Russian authorities forcibly mobilize locksmiths, social workers and teachers from temporarily occupied territories into their army - JFO HQ
In Donetsk direction, the Ukrainian military captured a group of representatives of the armed formations of the Russian Federation, who turned out to be residents of the occupied territories: locksmiths, teachers, social workers, the press center of the headquarters of the Joint Forces Operation (JFO) reports.
"Today, in Donetsk direction, our defenders captured a group of representatives of the armed formations of the Russian Federation. They turned out to be residents of the occupied territories: locksmiths, teachers, social workers. The Kremlin authorities forcibly mobilized all of them into their army and cold-bloodedly sent forward like cannon fodder," the JFO staff said on Facebook.
In addition, the Armed Forces of Ukraine note that today "the soldiers of the Azov regiment adequately met Kadyrovtsy (Kadyrov's followers) in the steppes of Donbas."
"The elite troops of the Russian Federation turned out to be the usual cargo of 200, with which the invaders are now massively flooding Ukraine," the report says.
