Summary
Residents in occupied Ukrainian territories are receiving mass messages on Russia’s Makh messenger urging them to join Russian unmanned-systems units, Ukraine’s Center for National Resistance said.
The campaign pitches UAV service as prestigious and relatively safe, promising high salaries, social guarantees and assignments supposedly far from the front to attract recruits.
Young people and residents under economic strain are the main targets, with recruitment pushed through Russian digital platforms across the occupied areas.
The outreach fits a broader drive to fill drone units: Ukraine’s resistance center earlier reported teachers at Russia’s University of Transport were also urging students to enlist.
