Commissioner: ORDLO residents forcibly mobilized are used as a living cover for the racist army

The forcibly mobilized residents of the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions are doomed to destruction by the Russian Federation and illegal formations ORDLO - they are used as a living cover for the racist army.

According to available information, some of the conscripted civilians are in the south of Ukraine.  They have no protective ammunition.

Russian militants treat mobilized Donetsk and Luhansk residents as prisoners.  The main function of these hostages is to cover the main military formations.  Mobilized scared, many trying to escape or damage issued weapons.

The rashists also formed a battalion of convicts who were released from ORDLO colonies and pre-trial detention centers.

Such actions of the terrorist state of the Russian Federation are a violation of Article 51 of the Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, which strictly prohibits an occupying power from forcing protected persons, ie those in conflict  is to serve in its armed or auxiliary forces.

I appeal to the world community to increase sanctions pressure on the Russian Federation to end hostilities in Ukraine and exterminate the Ukrainian people.
