At least 41 people from the occupied Crimea, illegally drafted into the Russian Federation, died in the war against Ukraine, said the Permanent Representative of the President of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea Tamila Tasheva.
“Conscripts are very actively sent from the Crimean peninsula to fight against our state. According to our information, only from open sources, we think that these figures are higher, recently there were at least 72 funerals in the territory From the verified information, we know that 41 people are from Crimea, that is, most likely, they are citizens of Ukraine, “Tasheva said at a briefing./span> at the Ukraine Media Center in Kyiv on Friday.
She added that it was an international war crime. The occupying country has no right to call for conscription and even more so to send to war. Every year since 2014, Russia has invited at least 5,000 people to Crimea. After February 24, 2022, Russia began forced mobilization in the occupied territories of Kherson, Zaporizhia and Kharkiv regions.
According to journalistic investigations and the mission, about half of the cruisers “Moscow” were conscripts, including from the Crimea.
“We as a mission advised in order to avoid conscription into the Russian army, or to leave the territory of the peninsula, which is actively done by people, especially men of conscription age, respectively, turn to us for help, or try to hide somewhere on the peninsula, try not to receive a summons, change phone numbers “, – she noted.
She noted that residents of the occupied Crimea, especially men of military age, are actively leaving. Also, Russian citizens who were illegally in the Crimea are trying to sell property and are actively leaving the Crimea. Among them are prosecutors, judges, employees of the FSB, the Center for Countering Extremism.
“I will not say that this is a mass result from the Crimea, but they are quite active in leaving, including trying to sell their property,” she added.
