Crimean Tatars received more than 1,500 summons within the mobilization announced in the Russian Federation

Within days of the announcement of the “partial” mobilization in the Russian Federation, the Crimean Tatars residing in occupied Crimea received over 1,500 summons.

Tamila Tasheva, Presidential representative of Ukraine in Crimea, reported this.

She noted that the Russians are trying to distribute most of the summons in the occupied peninsula to representatives of the indigenous people.

“We see that in principle, the Russian Federation during the half year of this great war tried to call and send people from the so-called nation states to war. In fact, thus exterminating small indigenous peoples of the Russian Federation. As for the occupied Crimean peninsula, they really focus on the Crimean Tatars, trying to exterminate the gene pool of the Crimean Tatar people in this way,” said Tamila Tasheva.

In addition, according to her, men over 60 years old and those who have underlying diseases are also receiving the summons.

Tamila Tasheva urged people in the occupied territories to avoid receiving the papers. If they are handed over during raids arranged by the Russian authorities in markets or in public places, the advice is not to show up at the military enlistment office.

In case a person does end up in a war zone, they have the option to surrender.

Mitigating circumstances will be applied to people who are citizens of Ukraine and were forcibly sent to war.

Sergey Aksenov, self-proclaimed Prime Minister of occupied Crimea stated that the mobilization in Crimea will be fully carried out by the end of the day on September 25.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Ukraine would not be disclosing the circumstances of the capture of Russian citizens who would voluntarily surrender.
