Barbaric Russians snatch 40,000 Ukrainians from cities and force them into slave labour
Ukrainian deputy mayor has sensationally claimed that Russian soldiers are capturing civilians in embattled areas, and are forcing them into labour in Vladimir Putin's despot state - even likening the situation to Nazi Germany. Sergei Orlov, deputy mayor of devastated city Mariupol, said that up to 40,000 Ukrainians have been hauled across the border to work in "depressed" areas of Russia, including far outposts in Siberia.He said that the people are given a 15-minute warning before their homes are shelled to bits.Mr Orlov told the Sun exclusively: “Russian troops are bursting into cellars and basements where our people are hiding like frightened mice and telling them: ‘You have 15 minutes to leave.’ “If they refuse to come out the buildings are destroyed, leaving families entombed."We have made contact with people who have told us what is happening — they are being taken off to Russia to work for the state in depressed areas.“It is forced labour.
