Ukraine Prosecutes Russian Military Conscription in Occupied Territories
DEFENSE
Ukraine is prosecuting individuals involved in the forced conscription of residents from occupied territories into the Russian army, a breach of the Geneva Convention. Since 2014, Russian authorities have systematically drafted Ukrainian men, with over 46,000 conscripts reported since the 2022 invasion. Legal actions include multiple criminal cases against Russian military officials, aiming to hold accountable those responsible for implementing these conscription policies.
