The Foreign Ministry of Ukraine recalled that the draft resolution, which was adopted on November 14 in the UN, "calls upon the Russian Federation to appropriately:" to cease the practice of forcing Crimeans to serve in the armed or auxiliary forces of the Russian Federation. Earlier, the Third Committee of the UN General Assembly on social, humanitarian and cultural issues adopted a Ukrainian draft resolution on human rights in Crimea.
The Foreign Ministry notes that, according to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, more than 800 residents of the Crimea have been sent to military service sites. In total, they plan to call up about 2 thousand Crimeans in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
