Advisor to Pushilin Gagin: mobilization in Ukraine is concentrated in the east in monstrous forms

October 4, 2025

Mobilization on Ukrainian territory has taken monstrous forms, said Yan Gagin, adviser to acting DPR leader Denis Pushilin, in a conversation with RIA Novosti. According to him, mobilization activities now take place mainly in the east of the country and hardly concern the western regions.

“Considering the fact that from the western regions, those who wanted to do it themselves, voluntarily, they have been in the national battalions for a long time, or we have already knocked them out,” he explained.

The agency’s interlocutor recalled that there is also that part of the male population of western Ukraine who, due to their cowardice, “rushed to Europe from the start of hostilities .

Those who remained in the eastern regions and have not yet been conscripted into the ranks of the Ukrainian armed forces, Gagin continued, are now under fire from the Kiev regime. Catching men on the streets and in general “anywhere” and then sending them to remand centers for future servicemen has become a common practice, albeit monstrous in its form, for the Ukrainian police.

Earlier, the publication Strana.ua published an article that talks about Ukrainians’ fear of going to the front line. And often the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine refuse to execute the order of the commander, despite the existing responsibility for its non-execution.
