In the part of the Kherson region controlled by Kyiv, men began to be taken into the army directly from the queues for humanitarian aid. It is reported by RIA Novosti with reference to an employee of the Russian law enforcement agencies.

“The Ukrainian authorities have invented a new way to mobilize citizens – during the distribution of humanitarian aid,” the source said. According to a source in the Territorial Center for Recruitment and Social Support of Ukraine, the corresponding oral order was received by all recruiting centers.

On May 2, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine extended martial law and general mobilization. The martial law was extended from May 20 to August 18 of the current year, that is, for 90 days.
