Cadets of the Penza Artillery Institute are planned to be involved in guarding oil depots from drone strikes — Russian command is filling gaps in air defense with those who have not yet fought, the Atesh agent network reports, citing information provided by agents from among the institute's cadets.
Cadets will be sent to guard fuel facilities
Cadets of the Penza Artillery Institute are planned to be included in mobile groups to protect oil depots and fuel facilities on the territory of Russia from drone strikes.
The reason is that the Russian air defense system is not coping with the growing number of attacks. The command is forced to involve those who have not yet been sent to the front.
Atesh has launched the Cadet Corps
To work with cadets from various military educational institutions of Russia, the Atesh network (a Ukrainian resistance and intelligence network) has created a separate branch — Atesh Cadet Corps.
"Those who make contact pass on real information that helps stop this war," the network said in a statement.
Meanwhile, the United Kingdom has imposed sanctions on 35 individuals and organizations involved in recruiting migrants to participate in Russia's war.
Among them are human trafficking networks transporting citizens from Iraq, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen to be sent to the front, as well as entities linked to drone production.
Russia wants to recruit another 406,000 people in a year, but the Ukrainian army is destroying the enemy faster than it replenishes its reserves.
