Details: The invaders are being offered good salaries for work on the "restoration" of the occupied territories in eastern Ukraine - to dismantle the ruins of buildings destroyed by the Russian army, or to load humanitarian aid supplies.

A captured aggressor, who was allegedly contracted as a "handyman," talked about this to SSU investigators.

But, according to him, such contractors have little choice: they can agree to serve as "cannon fodder" in the illegal armed groups of "LPR/DPR" [self-proclaimed Luhansk People’s Republic and Donetsk People’s Republic] or be shot for refusal.

In particular, this resident of Udmurtia [Russia] signed a contract with the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation for 2 months due to financial difficulties.

He worked on clearing the territory of a school during the first week. And then, together with 32 other "colleagues," he was sent to Zolote to be enlisted in the so-called "LPR" [self-proclaimed Luhansk People’s Republic] terrorist group.

According to the prisoner, the rest of the "volunteers" refused: on the first day, 82 people refused.

Those who carried out the order did not do well. "7 of the 32 [who went to Zolote, Luhansk Oblast] were taken prisoner, 6 returned, the rest have become [Cargo] 200th [were dead]. I was injured," said the prisoner of war.

In the end, even the Russian commanders fled.

Currently, SSU investigators and counterintelligence officers are continuing [their work] with this prisoner.
