The European Union has accused Moscow of launching a "conscription campaign" in the Russia-controlled Ukrainian region of Crimea, in a move that the bloc said violated international law. The EU's strongly worded statement came as Ukraine accused Russia of massing troops near their shared border, an accusation rejected by the Kremlin. "Today, the Russian Federation has launched yet another conscription campaign in the illegally-annexed Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol to draft residents of the peninsula in the Russian Federation Armed Forces," the EU said in a statement on April 1. Observers noted that Russia has in the past conducted military call-ups in the springtime. The bloc said the Russian military conscription drive in Crimea was "another violation of international humanitarian law." It stressed that "the Russian Federation is bound by international law, and obliged to ensure the protection of human rights on the peninsula" and reiterated "the EU does not and will not recognize the illegal annexation" of Crimea.


It is a violation of international law and the Geneva Conventions for an occupying power to conscript an occupied population into its military forces.

The United Nations considers the Ukraine territory of Crimea to be under a Russian military occupation.

 
Probably not a coincidence that after four years of almost no major developments under Donald Trump, tensions between Ukraine & Russia are suddenly heating up after only two months of Joe Biden? Then some folk wonder why Moscow wanted Hillary Clinton to lose in 2016...
 
Notes in dutch newspapers about the handover of Crimea to the Ukrainian SSR in 1954:
"The gift of Crimea: A strange gesture of Moscow towards Ukraine" :LOL:

Today I have already seen several photos of the US military in the Donbas. But the Russian troops... Only one satellite photo. And even then, somewhere near Voronezh in Russia.

Your quixotic reply makes no sense at all.

Use links.

That's what happens when Putin's Patsy isn't president anymore.
 
The G7 countries are concerned about the "build-up of Russian troops" on the border with Ukraine.

This was stated by the Foreign Ministers of the "seven" + Josep Borrel.

What does the concern of these "comrades" indicate? That the Russian troops are now in the perfect right place to prevent provocations of fascist Ukraine
 
:rolleyes:

No source link = Kremlin propaganda
 
On April 19, 1783, Catherine II signed the manifesto on the annexation of the Crimea to Russia. Happy annexation day!

Khrushchev considered Crimea far more expensive than it was worth. Solution? Place the subsidy burden on Ukraine.

On 19 February 1954 the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union issued a decree transferring the Crimean Oblast from the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic to the Ukrainian SSR.....

The Ministry of Propaganda does not study the fact that in the USSR only one republic gave more money to the country's budget than it received from it?
O. K. I'll tell you, it was Russia. All other republics received more from the budget, than they gave there.
Question: at whose expense did 14 of the 15 republics of the USSR live?
 
That the USSR was not economically sustainable is well known. However.....

On 19 February 1954 the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union issued a decree transferring the Crimean Oblast from the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic to the Ukrainian SSR

Do you understand what the word "transfer" means?

And from 1997 onward, Russia paid an annual fee to Ukraine to rent the naval base at Sevastopol, Crimea, Ukraine.
