Does Vladimir Putin's army have problems in the war? According to the latest information, it does. In the Russian regions, hundreds of mobilised people who refused to fight against Ukraine are being forcibly sent to the front.
As "Verstka" has learned, individuals who refuse military service due to their beliefs are being put on planes and sent to war, regardless of their health conditions and planned court hearings.
According to two lawyers and three families of those who refused to fight, at the beginning of the May weekend, 40 machine gunners and fighters with sticks entered the building where the refusers were being held.
And they took over the entire floor from there - according to the relatives, 170-180 people. They were herded into buses, sent to the military airport, and straight to a plane.
Those who consciously refused to fight on Ukrainian territory are being held on military bases and then sent to the front and other regions without their consent - reads Telegram.
Such forced expulsions began en masse in May. As one investigator told the wife of a detainee: "We didn't come up with this; it's an order from Moscow."
