On February 24, 2022, the Russian Federation launched a full-scale armed invasion of Ukraine, and also occupied part of the territory in the south of the country, where representatives of the indigenous Crimean Tatar people live compactly.
Despite the fact that martial law has not been introduced in Russia and war has not been officially declared, on September 21, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the so-called partial mobilization, which is being organized in violation of international humanitarian law, including in the occupied Crimea.
Since September 21, 2022, more than 60 thousand summons have been issued in Crimea, and about 23 thousand people have been mobilized.
The problem still remains relevant. For example, for the elections that were held in September 2023, the occupiers in Crimea gathered 3 thousand people. They sent a thousand to the Russian armed forces, and another 2 thousand to a private military company.
None of the residents of Crimea should become an accomplice to the international crime committed by Russians in Ukraine. After all, Crimea will soon be liberated and justice will definitely be restored. Everyone will suffer their punishment.
We remind you that the Crimean Tatar Resource Center continues the information campaign “Grave Mobilization”, within the framework of which we inform you about what to do if you have been handed a summons, if you have been mobilized, how to sabotage the mobilization, etc.
