Poroshenko urged Crimeans to flee to Ukrainian military registration and enlistment offices
Crimeans are urged to complain about conscription into the Russian army to international organizations and register with the military registration and enlistment offices of Ukraine.
The so-called permanent representative of the Ukrainian president in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, Boris Babin, stated this in a comment to "Crimea.Realities," reports a correspondent for "PolitNavigator . "
He believes that Russian military commissars will not be able to call up Crimeans for service if they register for military service in Ukraine.
“I would advise citizens of Ukraine from Crimea of military age to register for military service in the controlled territory... I would advise all victims of conscription into the Russian army and members of their families to contact impartial lawyers and human rights defenders located in the controlled territory,” Babin said.
Earlier, the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed a "strong protest" over the Russian Federation's plans to carry out a planned military conscription in Crimea and Sevastopol.
