•Dmitry Bulgakov, Russia’s Deputy Defence Minister, has been removed from his position.
•Ramzan Kadyrov, the head of Russia’s Chechnya, has suggested that employees of law enforcement agencies be sent to Ukraine. "If we draft half of those men, we would have a 2.5 million army that would be capable of destroying any Western country’s army, so there would be no need in reserves.”
•However, Chehnya's authorities are drafting ethnic Chechens who are registered with the local migration service but permanently rised in other regions of Russia. Over 500 such men have been arrested today while applying for an international passport.
•Vladimir Putin has signed a set of amendments to Russia’s Criminal Code that introduce harsh prison sentences for surrendering to the enemy, refusal to be fight, draft dodging, and pillaging.
•A total of 59 men were drafted in the village of Tyumenevo, Russia’s Kemerovo region, which is the entire male population of the settlement, a source for Novaya Gazeta. Europe reports. He also says that the same thing is going on in the neighbouring villages.
