Russia's Forced Mobilization: Over 55,000 Residents from Occupied Ukrainian Territories, Claims Intelligence Official

Ukrainian intelligence official Andriy Chernyak revealed that between 55,000 and 60,000 residents of Ukraine's occupied territories have been forcibly mobilized into the Russian army since the beginning of 2022. The Russian military has been catching people on the streets or from operating establishments, putting them in uniforms, and sending them to the front lines, despite promises of being placed in the second or third lines. Students have also been forced to join the army, with little regard for their rights or the law. The only chance for survival for those mobilized from the annexed territories is to surrender at the earliest opportunity.
