Quote: "The occupying administration is launching draft points right on the central embankment. One of them is actively ‘working’ in the city of Alushta. This is because the Russians are preparing a new wave of mobilisation in occupied Crimea.

Specifically, they [the Russian occupying authorities] are holding meetings and briefings in the Sevastopol military enlistment office. Military draft notices will be handed out accompanied by police or Russian National Guard officers. Particular attention will be paid to the so-called evaders. The occupiers are planning to mobilise up to 30,000 people and draft up to 10,000 conscripts."

Details: Volunteer instructors provide military training courses in occupied Crimea. They teach theory and practice to all "interested" people: military field medicine, small arms skills, drone control and mountaineering.

Classes are held in the field, and tasks are formulated based on the "experience" of the war against Ukraine. Over a hundred people aged 12 to 60 have attended such courses in the city of Feodosia.

Furthermore, the Ukrainian President's Representative Office in Crimea recalls that Putin signed a decree under which the "operational headquarters" of occupied Crimea will be able to "coordinate" the work of military units and involve citizens in "protection and fighting against saboteurs voluntarily".
