For food: occupiers extort information about young men from pensioners of the Luhansk region, in return they give them food

The invaders are experiencing difficulties with mobilization. The men of Luhansk and Donetsk regions no longer want to go to war. In order to send them to the front, the Russians catch them at the entrances, near work, just grab them on the street. However, many are hiding. In order to fulfill the plan, the occupiers go to the trick. They elicit information about the men living in the house from pensioners. In return, the elderly are offered food. Serhiy Gaidai, head of the Lugansk regional military administration, announced this in his Telegram .

During their tours of high-rise buildings, they ingratiate themselves with the elderly, offering them small amounts of money or food in exchange for information about men of military age. They leave on duty at the closed entrances of the military, who are waiting for one of the male residents to either leave or try to return home, he said.

He also noted that those who catch recruits are afraid of being recognized. Therefore, they all wear balaclavas that cover their faces.

Note in the report of the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) it is said that the Russians are lying about the large number of volunteers who wish to become "liberators". Experts note that the enemy is experiencing a shortage of personnel, and more and more men refuse to fight. In this regard, recruits began to be caught and forcibly sent to the front.
