In the area controlled by pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine, in the Donbass, general mobilization has been decreed.
Until then, they were just civilians, but they have just been enlisted in the separatist forces of Donbass. “Worry, of course there is, only idiots don’t worry. What should I let Ukrainian Nazis kill my parents or hurt the children?“, asks one of these civilians. The parents of this 46-year-old professional masseur have come to accompany him, they are worried.
The recruits first leave to do exercises, until they are declared fit for combat. General mobilization has been announced: centers have opened everywhere. The men are summoned by telephone and they must come during the day. “Real danger, precautionary measure or strategy of fear of the separatist authorities? This mobilization pushes the gears of war a little further“, concludes the journalist Luc Lacroix.
