Ukraine ‘Conscription Squads’ Grabbing Men off Streets to Fight in War: Report
Breitbart ^ | 10/06/2024 | Kurt Zindulka

Ukrainian recruiters are reportedly roaming the streets of the country in a desperate effort to bolster the ranks of the military as the war with Russia continues to sap the native population.

A report from the Times of London claimed that tactics to increase the number of soldiers have become “increasingly deceitful, coercive and violent” as Kyiv attempts to increase the number of mobilized men by around 200,000 to press on with the fight against Russia.

Speaking anonymously to the British paper of record, a conscription officer from the city of Odesa said that some of his colleagues are often turning to illegal methods, including physically grabbing men off the streets to send them to fight even if they are exempt from conscription.

I'm not surprised if true.

That would be a good trick. Even pulling 200k off the streets here in the US would be a huge undertaking.

Who the hell are they fighting? From everything I’ve seen in the Far-Left Commie USA “media”, they’ve already killed off all of those rascally Russkis.

Oh, it’s definitely true and has been going on for a long time like this.

ZEEPERS will, of course, deny this and say Ukrainians are lined up to voluntarily join. The ZEEPERS will of course not find themselves in such enlistment lines… they are solidly into OTHER-PEOPLE’S-MONEY, OTHER-PEOPLE’S-BLOOD and OTHER-PEOPLE’S-LIMBS,

Speaking of the Russia / Ukraine dust-up, did you see that yesterday Reuters reported that the Russian ambassador to the U.S., Anatoly Antonov, and his entire staff have left the embassy and returned to Russia? They took all their classified documents, their cryptography equipment and even their security detail. Oldtimers will remember this is exactly what Japan did in the days immediately preceding Pearl Harbor.

“Even pulling 200k off the streets here in the US would be a huge undertaking.”

It would actually be simple. Have the trucks waiting at NFL stadiums. The Dallas Cowboys alone have 93,000 attendees per game. With an airport about 30 minutes away.

Forced, pres-gang videos have been appearing for some time now.

But for all those who say this is not happening, one finds:

Ukraine Attempts to Abandon ‘Press Gang’ Approach to Conscription Kyiv Post, 26 March 2024

Ukrainian president signs controversial law to boost conscription to fend off Russia's aggression Associated Press, 16 April 2024

Ukraine Military Recruiters Use Harsh Tactics to Fill Ranks New York Times, 15 December 2023

As Ukraine seeks to replenish its depleted army, a divide grows among its civilians NPR, 31 January 2024

Conscription squads send Ukrainian men into hiding BBC, 17 June 2024

Conscription tactics get dirty as war-weary Ukrainians defy draft The Times, 3 October 2024

So "if true" is documented by world press -- with the first hotlink being from the Kyiv Post -- to be true.

Press gang, and going on for months.

The US supports it over there. Not a big leap to do it here.

I just saw The Military Summary Channel’s update for today.

He said word is Ukraine wants to raise 49 NEW brigades. Using NATO weapons and quite a few volunteers as well (didnt say how many). This dam war will bleed the region white…well actually the opposite.

Negotiate now.

I think at this point the Ukrainians are dividing up whatever property is left in private hands. What better way to get rid of a property owner than having them killed or maimed in a war? If they are rounding up people that means they are getting near the end and probably not by winning. Desperation is not a sign of impending victory. Zelinskyyyy was talking about Blackrock rebuilding the country and it would be so much easier if they could consolidate all of the titles to the properties.

Right because no one killed has a wife or family members who could inherit. Idiocy

Headlines states that men are being pulled off the streets but the article does not mention that example.
