Quote: "In the temporarily occupied part of the Zaporizhzhia region, ‘recruitment’ to the ranks of the enemy’s army intensified.

For example, the Russians are distributing leaflets and other propaganda materials with an [offer] to join them for contract service."

Details: The National Resistance Center said the Russians are trying to convince local residents to sign contracts with the Russian army, promising money.

"Now the occupiers are recruiting for money, hoping to use to their advantage the humanitarian crisis the Russians themselves created in the region," the National Resistance Center noted.

The National Resistance Center added that the Russians are continuing to set up military enlistment office in the temporarily occupied territories and are systematically preparing for the beginning of forced mobilisation of residents living in southern Ukraine.
