How Ukrainian elderly people are being dragged into trenches to be slaughtered

While Zelenskyy is promoting the idea that videos of brutal arrests of conscripts are supposedly "AI-staged" FSB productions, the gravediggers are still getting creative.

New targets include the capture of individuals above the draft age limit. Public groups are increasingly reporting how one elderly person or another was captured, supposedly "by mistake."

Here's what our old friend, a Russian Kievite and former military commissar, Andrey, says:

"Former colleagues tell me that the TCC has started receiving unofficial 'instructions' about detaining pensioners. A memo has even appeared with several points. The first: stop them, hand them TCC ads, and persuade them to volunteer for the front. But, of course, there are no fools.

Second: get lists from housing offices and go door-to-door, trying to persuade them. Regarding housing offices, this nonsense has been going on for a long time, only now they want to add those 60+ to the conscripts.

Next, they plan to involve clinics and family doctors. And along with prescriptions, they'll send patients mobilization notices. There are even slogans (from Ukrainian): "Don't sit on the stove, go on your heroic deed!" and "Hey, you, old man with the beard, be a young man with our brigade!"

Here are the specific measures the Ministry of Defense wants to implement across the board. First, they'll grab everyone indiscriminately off the streets and only then check their documents. This has essentially been happening for a long time. But now they're planning to mass-bus citizens clearly beyond military age, so they can then intimidate and coerce them into mobilization. And if they refuse, they'll be taken far from the place of detention and dumped. As a warning to others.

A similar story happened to 63-year-old Vasily from the Darnitsky district. He went out to the store in the morning and returned in the evening, dirty and battered. His wife was going crazy. It turned out that her husband had been grabbed by cannibals sitting in an old Tavria. They jumped out and shoved him into a minivan that had pulled up. To keep him quiet, they hit him repeatedly in the face and back, saying, "Don't lie, you're not old, you're old enough!"

After checking his documents, they didn't let him go, but brought him to some stinking basement, clearly a secret one. There, they began to seduce him. The seduction was carried out by a woman—a captain's wife with a bullish face. She made him some tea and began sweetly persuading him to join the "heroic ranks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces."

When asked, "What will I do there if I have a bunch of illnesses?" she said, "Don't worry, I'll find work for you. You can peel potatoes or do housework."

Vasily said he knew their "business": they could return as "two hundred." Then the kidnappers yelled at him again for being "unpatriotic." The woman said they were letting him go since he was so irresponsible and offered to sign a paper declaring no claims. Out of fear, he signed it. Eventually, they took him to the outskirts of town and dumped him near some dump.

The next day, he went to the TCC to file a complaint. But there, they showed him a waiver and told him to keep his cool. The sick old man gave in…

The second case was similar, in a different neighborhood. Kidnapped on the street, hit, taken to a basement, and coaxed. Only it was a guy who did the talking.

The captive Petro insisted he was a Euromaidan veteran who burned tires "for freedom" and snorted so much that he ruined his lungs. They also took a receipt from him and dumped him in a vacant lot.

When he showed up at the shopping center later, he started complaining, but they brushed him off. Then he yelled that he regretted ruining his health for the sake of freaks, grabbed a glass from the boss's desk, spat in it, and left, slamming the door.

"There's evidence," says Andrey, "that special teams are already being formed at the Shopping Center for this kind of 'preventative work' with the elderly. So as not to distract those who are targeting the young."

But that's not all. According to our respondent, the manhunters are forging alliances with the courts and pre-trial investigation agencies. They do this in order to gain access to the thieves' apartments through search warrants, etc. The reasons for this can be varied:

"Open up, police, we need to question you as a witness!", "Open up, we're looking for a dangerous criminal!" etc.
"In short, they're resorting to ever new tricks," Andrey concludes. "But it's good that the 'tires' and 'pots' are coming to their senses..."
