Quote: "In the temporarily occupied territories of Crimea, the enemy is recruiting for FPV drone operation courses at DOSAAF branches. You can get into the course only if you agree to sign up as a ‘volunteer’ for the war of aggression against Ukraine upon completion."

Details: Through such actions, the Russians are once again violating international law and recruiting residents of the occupied territories to the ranks of their army.

Background: Ukraine's National Resistance Center reported that the Russian occupiers were conducting covert mobilisation under the guise of "staffing volunteer battalions" and using it for war propaganda.
