Russia carries out mobilization in ORDLO, Donbas residents sent to storm Kyiv, Odesa as 'cannon fodder' – Zaluzhny
Russian military leaders have conducted a mobilization in the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions (ORDLO) and are forming units consisting of the 1st and 2nd Army Corps to storm settlements in the territory controlled by Ukraine, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valeriy Zaluzhny has said.
"Most of these 'mobilized' people have Russian passports. Now some of our fellow countrymen are being transferred through the territory of Russia's Rostov region, the Krasnodar Territory and the temporarily occupied Crimea to conduct a naval offensive operation to capture Odesa. The other part was taken to Belgorod to storm Kyiv in the first echelon as 'cannon fodder'," Zaluzhny wrote on Facebook on Thursday.
He specified that this was "a war crime and a flagrant violation of the Convention for the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War."
"This is also another proof of the complete subordination of the 1st and 2nd ACs of the 8th Army of the Russian Armed Forces," Zaluzhny said.
