"Mass mobilization of Crimean Tatars in Crimea is a real ethnic genocide and a huge tragedy for the entire people," Podolyak wrote on Twitter on Sunday.

According to him, forcing citizens to go to war in the occupied regions "is nothing but a demand for a large-scale cleansing of the territory from disloyal population on the part of Moscow."

As reported, Russian occupiers as part of the mobilization announced in the Russian Federation are massively sending summonses to the Crimean Tatars. According to preliminary estimates of the public organization KrymSOS, about 90% of summonses in Crimea were given to the Crimean Tatars, despite the fact that they make up only 13–15% of the population of the peninsula.

"Such a scale of mobilization can lead to a hidden genocide of the Crimean Tatar people," said Yevgeny Yaroshenko, an analyst of the organization.
