russia is preparing a new wave of mobilization in the temporarily occupied territories
russians are launching a new wave of mobilization in temporarily occupied Melitopol in preparation for the autumn 2025 draft.
▫️ At a special meeting, the occupation administration discussed measures to ensure the forced appearance of local residents at military enlistment offices, medical examinations, and registration. In fact, this is another attempt to forcibly involve Ukrainians in the war against their own country.
The forced recruitment of the population from temporarily occupied territories into the ranks of the russian army is a gross violation of international humanitarian law and constitutes a war crime. kremlin promises that residents of the occupied part of Zaporizhzhia region would “not be touched for at least five years” have proven to be false.
While russian propaganda claims that the kremlin allegedly “cares” about the population of occupied territories, reality shows otherwise. In reality, the occupiers view Ukrainian citizens in the temporarily occupied territories merely as a resource — as “cannon fodder” to replenish their army.
