The captive said in a statement to ‘Sputnik’: “One remained, and two fled from the training center. They were caught after two days.” He added, “Once they were returned, they were not allowed to complete the training but were immediately sent to the front line. No one cares to investigate or find out what happened; they throw you directly into the front.”
It is noteworthy that martial law and general mobilization have been imposed in Ukraine since February 2022 and have been continuously extended since then.
During the conflict, videos documenting forced recruitment by Ukrainian military office personnel have spread, showing men being dragged from the streets and forced into service as recruitment personnel beat some of them.
