The Russians have stepped up propaganda encouraging school leavers to join the ranks of Russian forces in temporarily occupied territories of Luhansk Oblast.

Quote: "Employees of Russian military recruitment offices in the so-called Luhansk People's Republic have intensified propaganda efforts among final-year students. They talk about the advantages of participating in the war against Ukraine for future career advancement. They offer two options – either sign a contract or enrol in a military university."

Details: Kharchenko added that the Russians had also announced that local TV channels and radio stations would move online, suggesting residents watch them there.

Meanwhile, in frontline towns and villages, the internet has been completely cut off by the Russians themselves, while in other areas speeds have been reduced to a minimum, so residents perceive such "innovations" as a joke.
