Region Cherson: Artikel zu humanitärer Lage in der Stadt Oleschky und anderen Gebieten unter russischer Besatzung

Ukraine: Civilians Trapped in Occupied Khersonska Region (Appell oder Pressemitteilung, Englisch)

• Men face additional risks because obtaining Russian documents may expose them to forced conscription into Russian forces. Compelling civilians in occupied territory to serve in the forces of a hostile power violatesinternational humanitarian law and is a war crime. […] And then you risk mobilization [into the Russian army].” Some residents said relatives and neighbors remained because they lacked the money to travel, feared they would have nowhere to go, or believed Ukrainian state support for internally displaced people would be insufficient. Russia and Ukraine have been in discussions over a potential pause in hostilities to enable civilians to evacuate. […] Russian occupation authorities should not arbitrarily prevent civilians from leaving, nor condition their departure on acquiring a Russian passport or other documents, or put Ukrainians at risk of forced conscription.

Ukraine : Des civils piégés dans la région de Kherson, sous occupation russe (Appell oder Pressemitteilung, Französisch)

• Les hommes sont exposés à des risques supplémentaires, car l’obtention de documents russes peut les faire subir une conscription forcée dans les forces armées russes. Or, contraindre des civils se trouvant dans un territoire occupé à servir dans les forces d’une puissance hostile constitue une violation du droit international humanitaire, et un crime de guerre. […] Les autorités d’occupation russes ne devraient pas empêcher arbitrairement les civils de partir, ni leur imposer l’obtention d’un passeport russe ou d’autres documents, ni les exposer au risque d’une conscription forcée.

Russian Attitudes Are Shifting as the War’s Effects Come Home (Spezieller Bericht oder Analyse, Englisch)

• Since the outset of the full-scale invasion and until recently, four events stood out as particularly significant shocks to the Russian public opinion: (1) theimposition of sanctions [https://www.csis.org/analysis/russia-sanctions-one-year] at the outset of the war, (2) thepartial mobilization [https://www.csis.org/analysis/what-does-russias-partial-mobilization-mean] in September 2022, (3)Yevgeny […] Readership of independent, largely exiled media tended to rise, a pattern documented [https://www.osw.waw.pl/sites/default/files/OSW%20REPORT%20The%20Great%20Russian%20Firewall-www.pdf] after the September 2022 partial mobilization, during Prigozhin’s mutiny in June 2023, and following the Kursk incursion in August 2024.

Artikel zur Rekrutierung von Student·innen angesichts des Krieges in der Ukraine

Russia looks to students to make up for mounting losses in Ukraine (Medienbericht, Englisch)

• Article on the recruitment of students for military service amid war in Ukraine
• The 23-year-old is among the first Russian students known to have been killed in Ukraine after signing up as part of a new large-scale drive to recruit young people from universities and colleges into Russia's drone forces. "He had never even served in the army," Afanasyeva complained. […] Russian Defence Minister Andrei Belousov said in November 2025 that the force would primarily seek to attract under-35s, as younger recruits were considered more receptive to "new technologies and speeds". Within weeks, recruitment meetings began appearing at educational institutions across Russia. […] Since President Vladimir Putin's partial mobilisation decree of September 2022, military contracts have in effect been extended until mobilisation ends, so a recruit is highly unlikely to leave after 12 months. A central part of the defence ministry's pitch is that the job of a drone operator is safer than other combat roles, away from the front line. […] And students may not even make the drone forces as it is up to the defence ministry to decide whether a recruit is suitable. Failure could mean transfer to another branch of the army. As well as financial incentives and patriotic appeals, students are sometimes pressured into signing up.

Artikel zu Berichten über zunehmende Fälle von Zwangsrekrutierung von Männern in Russland für den Kampfeinsatz im Ukrainekrieg

Russia Scrambles To Recruit Enough Men For Ukraine War. Now It’s Also Forcing Them. (Medienbericht, Englisch)

• Russia Scrambles To Recruit Enough Men For Ukraine War. Now It’s Also Forcing Them.
• There are growing rumors [https://www.currenttime.tv/a/raznye-vedomstva-rossii-gotovyatsya-ko-vtoroy-mobilizatsii-v-oktyabre-na-dannyy-moment-dorozhnaya-karta-ochen-detalno-razrabotana/33791083.html] that the Kremlin may seek to call a second mass mobilization possibly as early as this fall, something that was a tectonic shock for Russian society the first time it happened, in September 2022. […] With the exception of President Vladimir Putin’s September 2022 mobilization decree -- which largely targeted military reservists -- authorities have been able to avoid ordering mandatory service -- like a full nationwide draft. […] Officials have also bent the rules on sending conscripts to fight [https://www.foreignaffairs.com/russia/how-russia-recovered], something largely prohibited under the law. Recruiters have cajoled and coerced conscripts into signing contracts just months into their first year of mandatory service. […] In one example [https://www.svoboda.org/a/nedelya-na-pobeg-kak-rossiyskie-srochniki-pytayutsya-spastis-ot-voyny/33649830.html] , a conscript sent to a military camp on the Pacific island of Sakhalin reported an officer ordering soldiers on punitive marches to get them to sign -- or even forging signatures on volunteer contracts. […] The goal is to see if they’re wanted for desertion or if they’re migrants who recently received Russian citizenship but haven’t registered with their local recruiting office. "People are being snatched right off the streets," he said. "Previously it was mostly drunken passersby who were targeted, now they're picking up men of any age and in any condition.”
