Russians mobilize locals in Lisichansk and Severodonetsk
Local residents are called to work, and then instead of being paid, they are handed subpoenas
Channel 24 writes about this with reference to the head of the Lugansk OVA, Sergei Gaidai.
Despite the fact that the occupiers say they have captured the Luhansk region, the fighting there is still going on. Therefore, the occupiers rotate and try to attract local residents.
The head of the OVA said that the Russians were tricking the inhabitants of Lisichansk and Severodonetsk into the war.
A man is invited to work, for example, in a water utility, and a few days later he receives a summons instead of the first money. He is called by the "new homeland",
Gaidai said.
The head of the UVA also noted that the Russians cannot fight on equal terms, so they hope to overcome the resistance of the Ukrainian army through the civilian population of the Luhansk region.
