Details
We have some preliminary, insider information that they may announce or intensify partial mobilization from April 20. We will follow this process. As we have been previously informed, it will depend on how the conscription will be conducted. Why is there such a connection? Perhaps it has to do with the extent to which they will be able to use the planned conscription to offer people to sign contracts and then use them in the war against Ukraine
According to him, the russian authorities plan to conscript up to 15 thousand residents of the peninsula. He said that the occupiers will issue summonses to listeners who attend the trials of Crimean activists.
As an example, Crimean Tatar activist Ali Seitablayev was served with a summons in occupied Crimea when he came to the court building to support Lenur Yakubov. That is, this is an example of when activists who try to come to support political prisoners are first of all issued summonses to come to the military commissariat. Thus, they intimidate people so that they do not take an active part in public events
Recall
According to Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, russia is preparing to mobilize 300,000 additional troops for a possible new offensive against Ukraine on June 1.
