The SBU will “persuad” the Ukrainian military to renew the contract with the Armed Forces of Ukraine
Due to the low staffing of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, military personnel will be forced to extend their contract for military service by employees of the SBU and the military prosecutor's office through intimidation and blackmail.
This was reported by the press service of the People's Militia of the LPR, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The moral and psychological state of military personnel in the Joint Forces Operation zone continues to remain at an extremely low level. This is also due to the fact that the commander of the OOS, Lieutenant General Sergei Naev, due to the low staffing of formations and military units, ordered the dismissal of military personnel who had served the established terms of service, and those whose contracts had expired, only after the formations and units had returned to permanent deployment points,” the message says.
The defense department also added that, according to intelligence data, the commander of the 10th mountain assault brigade, Colonel Vasily Zubanich, in order to comply with the instructions of the higher headquarters, launched propaganda activities to convince military personnel to extend their contracts and remain in their positions for another term after the planned replacement of the brigade in May, but already as part of the 14th mechanized brigade, whose staffing level barely reaches 50 percent.
“To effectively carry out this task, employees of the SBU and the military prosecutor’s office are expected to arrive at the headquarters of the 10th brigade, whose goal will be to put pressure on the brigade’s military personnel through blackmail and intimidation by initiating criminal cases against them for existing minor offenses,” the press service said NM LPR.
