Moscow police grab music students for military service

Moscow police grab music students for military service

Russian police raided the dormitory of the Tchaikovsky Moscow State Conservatory in search of cannon fodder for the Ukraine front, the Telegram channel “Ostorozhno, Moskva” reports.

A 26-year-old student named Daniil told the channel that the police arrested him early Friday morning.

‘I woke up, and there were several police officers standing by my bed. They didn’t introduce themselves or anything like that. They asked me to get my military ID, and I got it and showed it to them. In the end, they just told me to get dressed and that we were going to the enlistment office. I was still half-asleep, it was all very unexpected, and I didn’t gather my things properly. I went there without any important documents.’
