Yes indeed, who is fighting in Kursk?
Russian NGO expert using the word recruits. DW Moderator using the word conscripts.
DW Moderator asking NGO expert “if that also includes conscripts”, the answer: Yes of course, after they’ve signed the contract, they can be deployed there. After having 4 months of military training, and military specialization. AS IN THEN THEY ARENT CONSCRIPTS ANYMORE, but you might still call them recruits - which the NGO expert then precedes calling them.…
Hey, no one said russia wasnt manipulating them into signing enlistment contracts afterwards (they obviously are), but just that they arent sending conscripts into active war zones.
Well, now that DW has significantly blurred the line again, to make everybody believe, that russia is sending conscripts - and put more propaganda out than journalism --- everything is hunky dory again. Right?
Still a further comment on the grey zone here -- if russian parents cant correspond with their children during the time conscripts are manipulated into signing contracts, this is a problem. Aside from manipulation being a problem in itself. (But then which army at war or not doesnt use coercion tactics…)
The NGO says that they at least know of four companies (x250 recruits) of recruits being sent to Kursk, but those numbers dont rectify the accusation that russia is sending conscripts.
In Moscow (one of the named four territories sending companies, in the video) alone 3900 conscripts were drafted in the fall draft of 2023. If from those 250 are sent to Kursk, thats 6.5%.
Thats not conscripts - thats the idiots [and or poor people] who want to fight, or sign up for war.
The conscription quota set for Moscow is low compared to other regions, but recruitment officials still have difficulty meeting it. In the fall of 2001, only about 3 percent of all conscripts were drafted from Moscow, whereas young men of draft age in Russia’s largest city make up almost 6 percent of the total number of young men of draft age in Russia.29

A total of 130 thousand new conscripts were ordered in Russia during the fall draft of 2023

(130000/100)*3 = 3900
Shit, fuck, german speaking media cant report that!
PS: Dont sign!
Watch the video to get the name of the NGO that will help you stay out of the war.
Oh, and 80% of the prisoners that Ukraine took in Kursk turned out to have been conscripts (see first video, even though till this day, the Wikipedia entry about the Kursk offensive will not mention that, but all kinds of other professional regiments that Ukraine has attacked…). But those were deployed in russia, in territorries that no one thought were being under the risk of being attacked, until Ukraine did its suprise offensive…
Sorry offensive, defensive operations, as good ukrainian friends of France 24 are calling them…
