🇷🇺 Russia to Intensify Forced Mobilization in Occupied Territories This spring, Russian occupiers plan to escalate forced mobilization in temporarily occupied areas of Ukraine. Facing heavy losses on the front line, the Kremlin is trying to replenish its ranks through forced conscription in occupied Ukraine, as well as by recruiting mercenaries and migrants. To achieve this, Russian forces apply constant psychological pressure on men of conscription age, forcing them to sign contracts under threats of arrest, confiscation of property, or deportation to Russia’s most depressed regions. 📌 Migrants as a new target: Russian military enlistment offices on occupied territories are now focusing on migrant workers, particularly citizens from Central Asian countries who arrived seeking jobs. The occupiers are actively pressuring them to sign contracts with the Russian armed forces. ⚖ Forced mobilization is a war crime Forcing Ukrainians in occupied territories to serve in Russia’s army violates Articles 49 and 51 of the Geneva Convention, which prohibit compelling civilians in occupied territories to join an occupying power’s military. But for Russia, laws and international rules mean nothing. #WarCrimes #StopMobilization #RussiaOut
