The British Ministry of Defense reported this on X with reference to intelligence data, Ukrinform saw.
The so-called governor of Zaporizhzhia region signed an order stating that Russia is preparing the required infrastructure and measures for military conscription in Russian-occupied areas of Zaporizhzhia region.
Analysts note that this will be the first draft in this particular territory temporarily occupied by Russia since September 2022.
“It is likely that Russia sees this measure as a way of satisfying the need by the Russian Armed Forces for additional personnel to support its war effort. The effect of the decree is likely to be limited given that a significant proportion of the population of Zaporizhzhia has departed,” the report reads.
It is also noted that in Melitopol, the largest city occupied by Russians in Zaporizhzhia region, only 40% of the pre-war population remain and half of those consist of ethnic Russians offered work in the city.
乌克兰通讯社看到，英国国防部于 10 月 23 日根据情报数据报道，扎波罗热州所谓的州长签署了一项命令，称俄罗斯正在为扎波罗热州俄罗斯占领区征兵准备所需的基础设施和措施。
分析人士指出，这将是自 2022 年 9 月以来俄罗斯暂时占领的这片特定领土上的首次征兵。
报道称，“俄罗斯很可能将这一措施视为满足俄罗斯武装部队对额外人员需求以支持其战争努力的一种方式。鉴于扎波罗热相当一部分人口已经离开，该法令的影响可能有限。”
在扎波罗热州俄罗斯人占领的最大城市梅利托波尔，只剩下战前人口的 40%，其中一半是在该市工作的俄罗斯族人。
