The Embassy of Uzbekistan in Russia has threatened compatriots who wish to take part in hostilities on the territory of Ukraine with criminal liability and urged them not to visit "conflict regions". Thus, the Uzbek diplomatic mission responded to the call for the creation of an Uzbek volunteer battalion.
An appeal to the Uzbeks living in Russia was made by the head of the organization "The Society of Central Asian Uzbeks of the Perm Territory" Jahongir Jalolov. He called on his compatriots to form a volunteer battalion and join Russian forces in a special military operation in Ukraine.
We not only have to, we are obliged to justify the bread that we eat. I propose to form a volunteer battalion and call it the great name "Amir Timur". And support Russia's special military operation to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine
Jalolov said.
Members of the Uzbek diaspora met the proposal with approval and supported it. However, the Uzbek embassy in Russia intervened and called on compatriots "not to follow such calls, not to visit conflict regions and not to participate in hostilities." In addition, the diplomatic mission recalled that, according to Uzbek law, illegal participation in hostilities on the territory of another country is punishable by imprisonment for up to 10 years.
The Embassy of the Republic of Uzbekistan in the Russian Federation warns compatriots against the creation of volunteer battalions and / or participation in hostilities on the territory of foreign states for which criminal liability has been established
- the message of the diplomatic mission says.
