According to Ukraine's National Resistance Center, Russia has ramped up the forced conscription of Ukrainian citizens in occupied territories, specifically through measures that coerce individuals into acquiring Russian passports and enrolling for military conscription. The situation has particularly worsened in the occupied regions of Zaporizhzhia, where street checks and document verifications have increased, leading to a rise in forced mobilizations.

Reports indicate that in the coastal city of Berdyansk, men are being taken to military commissions under threats of psychological pressure and criminal charges, effectively forcing them to sign contracts with the Russian Ministry of Defense. Over the past week alone, at least 17 individuals have been forcibly conscripted under these alarming conditions, highlighting the aggressive recruitment tactics employed by the occupying forces.

In Donetsk, the occupying authorities are seizing civilian vehicles for the needs of the Russian army, disguising these actions as towing due to parking violations. There have been instances where vehicle owners tracked their cars via GPS, only to find them taken by the military. This blatant violation of civilian rights and welfare signifies a significant escalation in the humanitarian implications of Russian occupation, raising concerns both locally and internationally about the treatment of civilians in conflict zones.
