As Russia's war against Ukraine is set to soon enter its third year, Ukraine is getting desperate for more troops, so much so that military recruiters have confiscated people's passports and even tried to enlist a mentally disabled man, per a new report on recruiting efforts citing lawyers, activists, and other concerned civilians.
"There's lawlessness here," a 58-year-old Ukrainian taxi driver told The New York Times in a report published on Friday that details the forceful tactics Ukraine military recruiters have been reportedly taking to boost the Eastern European country's manpower in the bloody fight against Russia.
The taxi driver from the Ukrainian city of Kitsman who declined to give his name out of fear of retribution told the Times that military recruiters seized his passport and only returned it to him days later after he showed up to a medical screening.
Local residents told the new outlet that recruiters from Kitsman have gotten a reputation as "people snatchers."
The Times said it spoke to more than two dozen lawyers, activists, soldiers, conscripts and family members of conscripts about the strong-arm strategies by military recruiters.
Attorneys and activists told the news outlet that the aggressive tactics — which have allegedly included physical force — exceed the limits of recruiters' authority and are blatantly illegal in some cases.

I miss the old thoughtful, happy, easy going Williams. Oh wait, I was thinking of Jon. Never mind. Have a merry Christmas Williams!
“Typical Russian propaganda from you scumbag.”
This is from BusinessInsider - Regime media. Same story from the NYT today.
Sorry to break it to you buddy. The Globohomo Regime is betraying Ukraine and cutting them loose.
Just like some of us said they would.
“And when was it ever a conservative value to ignore the wisdom of people with more experience?”
It isn’t. These people who support the Ruzzian dictator are wholly void of morals, scruples, and values.
A few of them very likely live in Ruzzia and when regime change eventually occurs I hope they get to spend some quality time in a very cold Siberian gulag before they’re unceremoniously shot and dumped out for the wolves to eat.
It won’t be WWIII, it will just be a NATO/UN Police Action, WWIII would require Congress to declare war, and that hasn’t happened since 1941
Bad Zeeper news today. It is making them pretty crabby.

Maybe Deny can whip up some new Ukey glory porn to perk them up.
i wanted to explain something about the confiscation of passports mentioned in this article.
Passport is a kind of national ID. There are two kinds.
Anyway, you are going to have big problems in your life if this is confiscated and you cannot replace it in Ukraine.
It is used for many internal purposes
I have NO doubt you're making $$$ off this war and that is your motive to do so.
The war in Ukraine 100% a result of our meddling, the purpose of which is and remains the laundering American taxpayer money.
You and your fellow zeepers are disgusting traitors, ones that have us closer to a hot war with Russia, nuclear war and WWIII than we ever were during the Cold War.
You're doing the bidding of the most vile scumbags like the Bidens, Soros, the military industrial complex and soulless political elite profiting from this war.
You sure are a morbid and pro bloody death sicko. This losing in Ukraine has made you a twisted psycho.
I hope there are no guns in your house.
Ugh. We better start learning Mandarin.
Kind of hard for them to comprehend that their usual sources for Uke victory propaganda has now decided to start letting the truth out.
They know that the citizenry of the US is done with the handouts and focus on Ukraine.
Politics is calling.
I guess it makes the point that Zeepers are NPCs and true believers who don’t get the narrative shift in advance.
This is what winning looks like.
. 
Check under your bed and in your cupboard. Them suckers are everywhere at the same time.
Who?
If true, it is time for Ukraine to surrender.
I think it’s that old warmongers love to send young men to war to die. The old people have no skin in the game.
