Russians are grappling with a significant challenge in recruiting an adequate number of police officers in Ukraine’s temporarily occupied territories, the Center for National Resistance (CNR) reported on Jan. 4.
The CNR revealed that a 40% personnel shortage is affecting the “MIA departments” in Khartsyzk, Donetsk region.

With these shortages, the CNR pointed out that any individual with a Russian passport may now join the police force.
To fill this gap, Russians are taking measures such as lowering the requirements for potential recruits and offering enhanced social benefits. They are also actively recruiting from Russia’s Krasnodar Krai Oblast.
