President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Russia is using mobilisation to kill members of the indigenous peoples of occupied Crimea as well as of the Caucasus, Siberia and other territories of the Russian Federation.

Quote from Zelenskyy: "Criminal mobilisation is used by Russia not only to prolong the suffering of people in Ukraine and to further destabilise the world, but also to physically destroy men - members of indigenous peoples who live in territories temporarily controlled by the Russian Federation.
The situation in occupied Crimea is catastrophic. The information about the Crimean Tatar people has been fully confirmed: most of the mobilisation letters there are given precisely to qırımlılar [Crimean Tatars, a Turkic ethnic group and nation who are an indigenous people of Crimea]. This is another element of Russia's genocidal policy, another reason for the immediate and tough reaction of the whole world.
