Russia is finding new ways to attract as many fighters as possible to the war with Ukraine. Thus, Russian volunteers who decided to take part in hostilities, working as cooks or paramedics, were retrained for other positions.

In Russian telegrams – Russian channels complain that their relatives are being thrown into combat units and forced to take up arms. At the same time, the occupiers are looking for ways to terminate contracts with the Russian Ministry of Defense.

Retraining of the Russian invaders

One woman said that her friend went to the “SVO zone,” supposedly as a cook, because she wanted to be close to her son, who is fighting against Ukraine. However, a week later she found out that she had been reclassified as a driver.

I went to cook porridge, but they put me in an UAZ. They said you would be a driver, delivering something somewhere. On the front line or not, I don’t know for sure, there is no contact with her anymore,” the message says.

The wife of one of the occupiers said that he signed a contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense for the position driver, and he was appointed sapper. Now he became deputy platoon commander. At the same time, his salary was not increased.

Another woman complained that her 60-year-old father signed a contract for the position of paramedic. He was on Russian territory for two weeks, and now he is serving in an assault detachment in the Donetsk region.

There are more and more messages like this on the Internet. Russians who find themselves in such a situation are interested in how their relatives can terminate their contract or get them returned to their previous positions.

However, as it turned out, the Russian department has no business with this and such requests are not even considered there.
