In the annexed Crimea and in the TOT of Kherson region, a powerful propaganda campaign for mobilization to the local terrorist defense continues.

This was reported by activists of the Yellow Ribbon movement.

According to them, this is reported by residents of the territories temporarily occupied by Russia.

"The informants of the Anti-Z movement continue to send photos from Crimea and Kherson region, which once again confirm the powerful propaganda of mobilization to the TOT of Ukraine," the movement said in a statement.

They note that mobile recruiting stations have appeared in the Heroes of Chornobyl Park in Yevpatoria, banners have been installed in the Yabloko shopping center in Sevastopol, and the occupiers are also distributing brochures in the administrative building in Henichesk and conducting mass mailings - and this is just part of their systematic work to increase the number of soldiers in the enemy army.

In general, the occupation authorities in the TOT are actively agitating Ukrainian boys to join militaristic clubs, including the Unarmy. The militarization of adolescents is taking place in schools and <span>sports clubs, as well as</span>during excursions and at public events with propaganda concerts. Last year alone, about 100 members of the Unarmy went to fight in the Russian armed forces against Ukraine. Some also went to study at military universities.

The head of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people , Refat Chubarov , stated that in virtually all schools in Crimea, Russians are militarizing children by involving them in weaving camouflage nets for the Russian military. According to him, in November 2023, there was a massive invasion of so-called volunteers and all kinds of organizers of paramilitary events in the Ukrainian secondary school of Simferopol district. At the same time, the involvement of children in all these activities was filmed and broadcast on Russian channels.

Earlier, the press service of the Representative Office of the President of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea reported that at least 791 Russian army soldiers were buried in Crimea. 600 of them were probably Ukrainian citizens. The press service noted that the number of burials may be higher, as many of them are carried out without coverage.
