The Russian command is sending residents of occupied territories to dangerous areas of the front
According to the Center for National Resistance (CNS), the Russian command is actively directing residents of the temporarily occupied territories to assault companies 'M', which operate in the most dangerous areas of the front. This is happening even under the guise of 'transitioning to a contract', but participants claim that it is done under duress.
A shadow market is trying to avoid sending residents of TOT to assault companies 'M'
A shadow market has developed around assault companies 'M', where residents and former prisoners can try to avoid being sent to these units by paying large sums of bribes. However, many residents of the occupied territories cannot access this due to a lack of necessary documents and connections.
The situation is becoming more acute, as any contact with the occupying forces can lead to forced conscription to the front. New rules have increased the risk for all residents of the occupied territories, including Melitopol.
The Ukrainian Center for National Resistance reported that the Russian command is actively sending residents of occupied territories to the most dangerous areas of the front, using mass mobilization and a shadow market to avoid service in assault companies 'M'.
