Peoples of the Caucasus demand an end to their mobilization in the Kremlin’s military conflicts.
Many representatives of Caucasian ethnic groups have voiced outrage over the forced use of regional residents in Russian military campaigns. Activists note that youth from the Caucasus often find themselves on the front lines in conflicts that do not align with their interests, exacerbating historical injustice and increasing discontent among the population.
Calls to end the mobilization of Caucasians are growing louder, especially amidst rising movements for independence and self-determination. Activists are urging international attention to the situation and recognition of the Caucasian peoples’ right to freedom and independence, believing this could prevent further use of their people as “cannon fodder” in Kremlin-led conflicts.
