On February 24, 2022, the Russian Federation launched a full-scale armed invasion of Ukraine, and also occupied part of the territory of the southern mainland regions of Ukraine, where Crimean Tatars also live.
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 60,000 summons have been issued in Crimea, and about 20,000 people have been mobilized, most of whom are Crimean Tatars.
Moreover, on November 1, the 16th illegal conscription began on the peninsula, which is actually a continuation of mobilization, because conscripts will continue to be sent to the Russian-Ukrainian war.
In fact, mobilization is Putin's answer to the fact that his army and the entire military machine were ineffective. Proof of this is the number of dead soldiers (more than 80,000 people), the amount of destroyed military equipment (more than 18,000 units), as well as the successes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which have already liberated more than 3,000 square kilometers of Ukrainian territory.
A summons to the Russian army means a death notice…
But what are you fighting for, Crimeans? What will you die for? Stop!
None of the residents of Crimea should become an accomplice in an international crime committed by Russians in Ukraine. After all, soon Crimea, like Kherson, will be liberated and justice will certainly be restored. Everyone will be punished.
Think!
But what will happen to you depends you…
