Recruiting migrants and drug addicts: in the Russian Federation prepare for the second wave of mobilization - isw

The report refers to the information provided by the Center for National Resistance, according to which drug addicts are recruited in North Ossetia for military service. One of the prisoners of Russian servicemen informed the CNS that he failed to overcome his addiction and he continued to use forbidden substances, fighting in the Zaporozhye direction. "A person mobilized because of the threat to the court. He was detained because of driving a car without documents.

In order not to go to court, the man was offered to go to Ukraine," the CNS writes. ISW experts also noted that the Russian Armed Forces have a common problem of desertion and disobedience to commanders. For example, on January 18, it became known that the Russian authorities were looking for a fighter who left part of his part. According to the source, the serviceman was killed as a result of a shootout with police officers.

Eight mobilized from the Kaliningrad region, who left Luhansk in the Russian Federation on a taxi and bus, also received charges of desertion. According to Radio "Free Caucasus" of January 15, contractors from Dagestan of the 136th Guards Separate Rifle Brigade of the 58th All-Military Army of the Southern Military District refused to participate in the war in Ukraine and execute orders of the commander.

It should be reminded that on January 18, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reported a new wave of mobilization in the central regions of Russia. According to the department, more than 20 people were banned from gathering in Moscow, and employees of the military enlistment offices began to visit the capital enterprises. Focus also wrote that on January 13, the Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine announced the Kremlin's plans to create an army with two million people.
