Women and children are being forcibly deported en masse from the territories of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts temporarily occupied by the enemy

In the settlements where racist troops enter, so-called "humanitarian corridors" are organized for residents to be taken to the aggressor country.  Women, children and the elderly are searched, Ukrainian documents, telephones are confiscated and sent to the border regions of the Russian Federation.  There they are placed in concentration camps with subsequent movement to depressed regions of Russia for settlement.

People are left without means of communication with relatives, often without food and basic necessities.

There are currently no data on the number of deported persons.  The Office of the Prosecutor General is conducting a pre-trial investigation into the fact of illegal deportation to Russia of 2,389 children from the occupied territories of Donbass.

But the racist press, which tends to distort reality in the direction of exceeding the achievements of aggression, notes about 206 thousand migrants from Donbass.

We can assume the presence of thousands of forcibly deported Donietsk and Luhansk residents from the occupied territories.

Attempts by the racists to create similar "humanitarian borders" to the occupying country were also recorded in Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, and Kyiv oblasts.  The fate of the forcibly deported people is still unknown.

Such actions of the aggressor state are qualified as kidnapping, which is a war crime and a direct violation of Articles 3 and 34 of the Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, Article 9 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and Article 5 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

I appeal to the international community to take into account the terrorist activities of the aggressor state's troops in determining the limits of sanctions pressure on Russia.

I call on the citizens of Ukraine, do not trust the occupiers!  For evacuation, use only officially approved humanitarian corridors announced on the websites of the Ukrainian authorities.

You can find such information daily on the Commissioner's website, my telegram channel and Facebook page.

Be careful!

Everything will be Ukraine!
