New methods of recruiting Russians into the army: Osechkin explained the system Dzvenislava Moshovskaya

Russia loses more than a thousand people every day in the war in Ukraine. This necessitates the constant replenishment of the army. The occupiers are looking for various ways to recruit Russians, because there are fewer and fewer people willing to die in Ukraine.

Russian human rights activist and founder of the Gulagu.net organization Vladimir Osechkin told Channel 24 about this, noting that the most common deception scheme to increase the number of personnel is the recruitment of conscripts. Vladimir Putin promises that they will not be sent to the front lines, but this is a lie.

Methods of recruitment into the army

Vladimir Osechkin noted that in military units conscripts are forced to sign contracts and are immediately prepared to be sent to the front in Ukraine.

At first, the young guys were deceived, saying that if they did not sign the contract, they would be sent to the front, but when they did, it became clear that they were being prepared for the front, he said.

The human rights activist noted that this is a very common scheme. In this way, the Russian authorities are trying to mobilize conscripts to make up for the lack of human resources. The occupiers need this to hold the front line and advance in certain directions.

Important! Assault units are being formed in Russia from convicts and patients with hepatitis B and C. According to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, by order of the Russian Ministry of Defense, hepatitis C has been excluded from the list of diseases that prevent service. Separate companies are created from prisoners, which are sent to the occupied territories of Donbass.

Vladimir Osechkin also noted that the judicial investigative system in Russia is now built in such a way as to recruit as many defendants and prisoners as possible for the war in Ukraine.

“Investigators, prosecutors and judges have a plan that they must fulfill in order to force a certain number of people to sign contracts with the Russian Ministry of Defense. They are offered to go to war instead of serving their sentences,” the human rights activist emphasized.

He added that inside the colonies where prisoners are held, the management creates harsh conditions so that they agree to go to war.

One of the employees admitted that if they do not recruit prisoners to the front lines, the government will send them there. There are no queues at Russian military registration and enlistment offices, but such cunning schemes allow Putin to attract a certain number of people to the war in Ukraine, Osechkin said.
