1/ Russia has introduced 'special military registration' for prisoners, as a likely precursor to conscripting people directly from penal colonies. The move means that many convicts will have no way to avoid being sent to fight in Ukraine. ⬇️
2/ The existing regulations on military registration have been amended to change the clause excluding prisoners from being registered for military service. A new system of 'special military registration' offices within the penal system is being created.
3/ Those serving sentences will be registered with the military without needing to make a personal appearance at the enlistment office (unlike civilians). Also unlike civilians, they will not be given a medical or psychological examination prior to being registered.
4/ The new system has been created following the June 2023 enactment of a law allowing Russians with a criminal record to be mobilised for military service, with the exception of those imprisoned for especially serious offences (terrorism, treason, espionage, etc).

2/ Important Stories reports that the continuing need for manpower has prompted the Russian government's Office of the Presidential Plenipotentiary Representative to issue a plan to recruit socially vulnerable sections of society into the Russian army.
3/ The plan is set out in a letter to the administration of the Central Federal District, which covers Moscow and most of the western part of European Russia. It requires the CFD to provide weekly information on the region's government bodies to recruit individuals for the army.

1/ Forces of the 'Luhansk People's Republic' are keeping dozens of injured and out-of-contract soldiers imprisoned in the basement of a Luhansk region barracks for as long as a year, without medical care or any legal representation. ⬇️ Image
2/ ASTRA reports on the case of 25-year-old Alexei Danilko, who relatives say has been held in a basement in the Luhansk region town of Stakhanov for about a year. He has reportedly been told that he will only be released "after completion of the Special Military Operation". Image
3/ One of his relatives say that after he went from his Moscow home to the 'LPR' in April 2022, "they grabbed him at gunpoint and forced him to write on an A4 sheet of paper that he was voluntarily joining the ranks of the People's Militia of the Luhansk People's Republic."

1/ Hundreds of Russian soldiers may have mutinied in recent weeks as the Russian army accumulates huge losses in offensives in several regions of Ukraine. At least 173 men are reported to have been detained for refusing orders, and this may be just the tip of the iceberg. ⬇️ Image
2/ ASTRA reports that it has received almost daily messages from the relatives of men who have been detained in occupied regions of Ukraine after refusing to join assaults. They have told similar stories of drunken commanders and a lack of ammunition, artillery, food and water.
3/ The ongoing heavy fighting around Kupiansk and Avdiivka is said to have been the cause of a number of revolts (see below for one example). Ex-convicts are also reported to have been detained to pressure them into signing new contracts.
