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 summonses have been issued in Crimea, and about 20 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.
In fact, mobilization is Putin’s response to the fact that his army and entire military machine have proven ineffective. Proof of this is the number of dead soldiers (almost 300,000 people according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine), the amount of destroyed military equipment (more than 38,000 units), as well as the liberation of more than seven hundred cities and villages that were previously under Russian occupation.
A summons to the Russian army means notification of your death…
But what are you fighting for, Crimeans? What will you die for? Stop!
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.
Think about it!
But what will happen to you next depends on each of you…
