Ukraine's National Resistance Center has reported that the Russian government may use the evacuation of populations from the occupied territories of Ukraine as a way to conscript men to military service. The occupiers desire to filter the population in evacuated territories, with men being transferred to separate military enlistment offices. Yevgeny Balitsky, the Russian-appointed "head" of occupied Zaporizhzhia Oblast, ordered the partial evacuation of local residents from 18 frontline settlements. The evacuation had begun on Sunday, with over 1,600 people, including 660 children, having been evacuated from areas near the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant. Officials began evacuating people in the area, as the UN warned that the situation around the plant had become "potentially dangerous." The evacuation's pace, combined with the queues formed at the Chonhar checkpoint, are already causing problems. Ukrainian mayor Ivan Fedorov noted that evacuated areas had run out of goods and medicine, with hospitals discharging patients into the street for fear of losing water and electricity if Ukraine strikes.
