The General Staff reported in the morning briefing that the Russian army is trying to compensate for its losses with prisoners from the Tula region.
The Russian army suffers significant manpower losses every day and tries to compensate them in different ways. The military leadership continues to search for those willing to fight among prisoners, in particular in the colonies of the Tula region.
Recruiters promise convicts to have their criminal records removed in exchange for 3 months of service, for recidivists or those convicted of particularly serious crimes, the term of service will be 6 months. However, no contracts are signed with interested parties
Recruitment of so-called "reservists" to the 3rd Army Corps is also ongoing. Among the already recruited personnel, there is a large number of people with drug and alcohol addiction. Also, the fact of forced mobilization in the city of Horlivka shows the problems with staffing units, local so-called "military commissars" were tasked with the "militia" to recruit 6,000 people by September 19. The search and arrest of men continues in the city, which in turn causes mass dissatisfaction among local residents.
The Russian army has completely left Kreminna, but the Armed Forces have not yet entered.
