Eight leaders of influential Circassian organizations issued a joint statement in which they called on their compatriots to sabotage the Kremlin’s orders: “We appeal to our compatriots serving in the ranks of the Russian occupational army to boycott the orders of the command, which are a violation of the laws of a foreign state and the international law. We ask Circassians to refrain from further service in the ranks of the Russian Armed Forces and other armed formations sent to Ukraine by the Kremlin military command.”

The delegates of the 1st Congress of the Free Nations League addressed the Riigikogu of sovereign Estonia with gratitude for the Republic’s long-term and systematic support of the related Finno-Ugric peoples of the Russian Federation.
