Occupants legalize forced mobilization in Melitopol: who will be taken first.

Legalization of forced mobilization in occupied Melitopol

According to inkorr.com: In Melitopol, in the occupied territory, they are planning to legalize the forced mobilization of residents. A law passed in Russia allows for year-round conscription into the army. This means that even residents of occupied areas can be called up for service, despite promises to 'liberate the locals'.

According to the new rules, any resident of Melitopol or the nearby villages can receive a summons and is required to appear at the 'military registration office' within 30 days. 'Military registration offices' are already compiling lists of men aged 18 to 50 deemed 'fit for service'. There is also an apartment check underway to verify residence, involving municipal workers, security personnel, and builders.

According to local residents, 'volunteers' are becoming so under pressure: either they enlist on a contract basis or risk losing their jobs.

The National Resistance Center notes that such actions violate international law and the IV Geneva Convention, which prohibits the forced conscription of the population in occupied territories into the army of the occupying country.

The situation in occupied Melitopol raises concerns, as the local administration fears possible protests and seeks to justify mobilization with 'military-patriotic education' slogans. Experts believe that Moscow plans to continue the war by using Ukrainians from occupied territories.

In occupied Melitopol, they plan to legalize the forced mobilization of local residents, expand the powers of commissioners, and identify individuals who can be quickly sent to the front.

The introduction of forced mobilization in Melitopol underscores the seriousness of the situation in the region. The occupying administration is trying to strengthen its forces despite legislative and international obligations. It is important to monitor further events and the reaction of the local population to these actions.
