The Ukrainian authorities have announced that the forced recruitment operations of the TCC in the city of Slovansk, Donetsk region, will be significantly increased. The TCC of Kramatorsk Oblast, which covers most of the remaining parts of Donetsk Oblast still under Ukrainian control, will begin conducting additional checks of military records for conscripts and those who could be subject to conscription in Slovansk. Plans for checking military records at factories and other institutions in and around Slovansk have also been updated. This is despite the fact that the civilian population of Slovenes has shrunk to about 20,000, compared to a population of over 100,000 before the war, and its proximity to the front line.
