Since the beginning of 2024, about 300 cases of “detention” of Ukrainians have been recorded.
This was reported by the Center of National Resistance.
It is noted that under the guise of arrests, the Russians are actually kidnapping people.
“People are detained based on denunciations of disloyalty, and relatives are not informed of the reason for the detention and where the detainees are being held. Of course, the hostages are not provided with any legal assistance,” the message reads.
On March 20, it was reported that the Russians are conducting searches in the temporarily occupied Melitopol of the Zaporizhzhia region: they are seizing books by Ukrainian writers and looking for those who are likely to cooperate with the Defense Forces.
On March 20, it was noted that the Russians increased searches and pressure on Ukrainians in the temporarily occupied territories of the Kherson region due to low turnout in the so-called presidential elections of the Russian Federation.
