#Luhansk (occupied): Russia's forcible conscription in action (Russian uses locals as what they call "cannon meat", and the casualties among those previously "mobilised" have been staggering)
A "DNR" journalist writes: "Casulties in the brigades of the people's militia reach almost half of the personnel" and isn't happy people have been wasted by "our own idiots". Looks like soon they may realise (or not) that Russia needs them as nothing but cheap cannon fodder
#Luhansk, SM posts fr/locals:
"Spar (supermarket) at Kvartal Sonyashnyi - they're taking away men, but somehow selectively"
"Kvartal Myrnyi, transport circle: they're catching everyone"
"Myrnyi, circle: 2 Kamaz trucks sit - at the marketplace they've gathered a lot of men"

OK, there are Russian bots saying that those are Ukrainians.
- Date: Mar24 (liberated on Mar28)
- "Blue armbands" can easily be red worn by Russians
- Ukrainian uniform doesn't have a hood
- They speak Russian without any hint of the Ukrainian accent (with "g" not typical here)
Remember that "super-mega heroic woman" with an anti-war sign from Russian TV praised by everyone in the West? The next step of this info op is she telling that "Russiphobia's unacceptable" and "only Putin is to blame for war, that's why the sanctions should be lifted"
"It's the second day in #Lysychansk-#Severodonetsk without massive shelling. But it is too early to relax. The Katsaps (=RUs) are pulling up heavy artillery withdrawn from the #Sumy direction"
06:35 #Makiivka: "The 2959th day of the war. It's frosty, windy, something has boomed at the distance & it's relatively quiet for now. Yesterday morning, (traffic police) were securing the roads. While I've been writing, at 06:34, the plane broke the sound barrier and flew west"
