Russian invaders intend to arrange pseudo-referendum in occupied districts to force male population to join its military

The Russian butchers are running low on “cannon fodder”, so they have come up with a new insidious plan to force the male Ukrainian residents of the temporarily occupied districts to join the Russian military at the gunpoint and send them to fight against the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

These data were disclosed by the Defence Intelligence of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine.

The intelligence officers emphasized that the key purpose of creating new fake satellite republics at the territory of Ukraine would be involuntary and coercible military recruitment of male population. Subsequently, the recruited Ukrainian men will be forced to assault the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at the gunpoint of Russian retreat-blocking detachments. Essentially, this would be an insidious attempt to use Ukrainian citizens to accomplish the genocide goals of Russian government.

"The aforesaid operation has several goals: exterminate ethnic Ukrainians and carry out propagandist activities in order to indoctrinate the Russian population and global community with the Russian myth of “local residents liberated from Nazi oppression standing up to fight against Ukrainian Nazi units”. This is another outrageous war crime committed by the Putin’s regime against the people of Ukraine and another evidence of attempted genocide of Ukrainian nation”, the Defence Intelligence representative added.
