Conscripting Crimean Tatars into Russian army is the reason for the immediate and harsh global reaction - Zelenskyy

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized this in his evening address.

"We will also make a special emphasis. The emphasis is on the fact that criminal mobilization is used by Russia not only to prolong the suffering of people in Ukraine and to further destabilize the world, but also to physically destroy men - representatives of indigenous peoples who live in the territories temporarily controlled by the Russian Federation," Zelenskyy said.

According to him, the situation in the occupied Crimea is catastrophic. Russia uses mobilization to destroy indigenous peoples

"The information about the Crimean Tatar people is fully confirmed: most of the mobilization summons are written there specifically for the Crimeans. This is another element of Russia's genocidal policy, another reason for the immediate and harsh reaction of the whole world," he emphasized.
