Russia needs more soldiers for the war in Ukraine. Now, the government is forcing men to join the army.

俄羅斯在烏克蘭戰爭中需要更多士兵。現在，政府正強迫男子入伍。

In the past, Russia gave money to men to join. Now, they use force. In Penza, police take men from the street or their homes. They make these men sign army contracts.

過去，俄羅斯會給予金錢誘使男子入伍。現在，他們採取強制手段。在彭札，警察在街上或家中將男子帶走，強迫他們簽署軍隊合約。

Russia also asks prisoners to join the army. They tell prisoners they can be free if they fight. Many soldiers died in the war, so Russia needs more people quickly.

俄羅斯也要求囚犯入伍。他們告訴囚犯，只要參戰即可獲得自由。許多士兵在戰爭中喪生，因此俄羅斯需要快速補充人數。

Police say these stories are not true. But lawyers and families say it is true. Police stop men and check their IDs to find new soldiers.

警方稱這些故事並非事實。但律師和家屬則表示這是真實的。警方會攔截男子並檢查身份證，以尋找新士兵。

Russia has a shortage of soldiers. Because of this, the state takes men by force.

俄羅斯面臨士兵短缺。因此，國家採取強制手段帶走男子。

Reports show an increase in the use of forced recruitment tactics by Russian authorities to maintain military numbers during the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

報告顯示，在烏克蘭衝突持續期間，俄羅斯當局增加了強制徵兵手段，以維持軍隊人數。

The current recruitment strategy has changed from using financial rewards and targeted mobilization to more aggressive methods. In the city of Penza and nearby areas, there is evidence of arbitrary arrests, where people are detained in public or at home and then forced to sign military contracts. Family members and lawyers have emphasized that these actions often involve physical threats and psychological pressure.

目前的徵兵策略已從使用金錢獎勵和針對性動員，轉向更激進的手段。在彭薩市及其周邊地區，有證據顯示存在任意逮捕的情況，人們在公共場所或家中被拘留，隨後被強迫簽署軍事合約。家屬與律師強調，這些行動通常涉及肢體威脅與心理壓力。

In the past, the Russian government used various methods to replace soldiers, such as offering prisoners freedom or giving foreign nationals fast-track citizenship. However, because of a military stalemate and high casualty rates—which Western intelligence estimates at nearly 500,000 deaths—the government has changed its tactics. The rise of 'busification,' where military-age men are rounded up systematically, suggests that the state is failing to meet its goals through voluntary means.

過去，俄羅斯政府使用過多種方法來替補士兵，例如給予囚犯自由或為外國國民提供快速入籍通道。然而，由於軍事僵局和極高的傷亡率——西方情報估計死亡人數近 50 萬人——政府改變了戰術。「巴士化」現象的興起，即系統性地將適齡服役男性強行聚集，表明國家無法透過自願方式達成目標。

There is a clear difference between official statements and reports from the ground. While law enforcement agencies have dismissed claims of forced recruitment as false, human rights organizations assert that these practices are now common in many regions. Furthermore, the use of ID checks as an excuse for detention shows a organized system for finding and processing potential recruits, regardless of their social or legal status.

官方聲明與基層報告之間存在明顯差異。雖然執法部門否認強制徵兵的指控，稱其為虛假，但人權組織則斷言這些做法目前在許多地區已十分普遍。此外，利用檢查身分證作為拘留藉口，顯示出一個有組織的系統，用以尋找並處理潛在的徵召對象，無論其社會或法律地位如何。

The Russian state continues to use increasingly forceful measures to solve personnel shortages, leading to widespread reports of illegal detention and forced conscription.

俄羅斯政府持續採取日益強硬的措施來解決人員短缺問題，導致非法拘留與強制徵兵的報告 widespread 增加。

Reports indicate an escalation in the use of non-voluntary enlistment tactics by Russian authorities to sustain military personnel levels during the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

報告指出，俄羅斯當局為了在烏克蘭持續衝突期間維持兵源水平，增加了使用非自願入伍手段的情況。

The current recruitment paradigm has transitioned from a reliance on financial inducements and targeted mobilization toward more aggressive acquisition strategies. In the city of Penza and surrounding districts, evidence suggests the implementation of arbitrary detentions, where individuals are apprehended in public spaces or via residential incursions and subsequently compelled to execute military contracts. These actions are frequently characterized by the use of physical intimidation and psychological pressure, as documented by familial accounts and legal representatives.

目前的徵兵模式已從依賴金錢誘因和針對性動員，轉向更激進的獲取策略。在賓薩市及其周邊地區，有證據顯示當局實施任意拘留，在公共場所或透過闖入住宅將個人逮捕，隨後強迫其簽署軍事合約。根據家屬與法律代表的紀錄，這些行為通常伴隨身體威脅與心理壓力。

Historically, the Russian administration has utilized a multifaceted approach to personnel replacement, including the recruitment of incarcerated individuals through promises of clemency and the integration of foreign nationals via expedited citizenship pathways. However, the persistence of a strategic stalemate and significant attrition rates—estimated by Western intelligence to include nearly 500,000 fatalities—have necessitated a shift in tactics. The emergence of 'busification'—the systematic rounding up of military-age males—parallels controversial practices observed in Ukraine and suggests a systemic failure to meet quotas through voluntary means.

從歷史上看，俄羅斯政府一直採取多元化的人員補充方法，包括透過特赦承諾招募囚犯，以及透過快速公民入籍路徑整合外國國民。然而，由於戰略僵局持續以及損耗率極高——西方情報估計死亡人數近 50 萬——導致其必須改變戰術。出現了所謂的「巴士化」（busification）現象，即系統性地 rounding up 徵召適齡男性，這與在烏克蘭觀察到的爭議性做法相似，表明其無法透過自願方式達成配額。

Stakeholder positioning reveals a stark divergence between official narratives and ground-level reports. While law enforcement agencies have dismissed allegations of forced enlistment as unfounded, legal advocates and human rights organizations assert that these practices are now widespread across multiple regions. The utilization of identification checks as a pretext for detention further indicates a formalized mechanism for identifying and processing potential recruits, regardless of their prior legal status or socio-economic condition.

相關利益方的立場顯示，官方敘事與地面報告之間存在顯著分歧。雖然執法部門否認強制徵兵的指控，稱其毫無根據，但法律倡導者與人權組織主張，這些做法目前已在多個地區廣泛傳開。將身份檢查作為拘留藉口，進一步表明了一種識別並處理潛在徵兵對象的制度化機制，而不論其先前的法律地位或社會經濟狀況。

The Russian state continues to employ increasingly coercive measures to mitigate personnel shortages, resulting in widespread reports of illegal detention and forced conscription.

俄羅斯政府繼續採取日益激進的強制措施來緩解人員短缺，導致出現大量關於非法拘留與強制徵兵的報告。
