The Russian Federation continues the policy of genocide against the inhabitants of the temporarily occupied territories
Zaporizhzhia region
The occupation administration of the Zaporizhzhia region takes children to Chuvashia under the pretext of recreation
The occupation administration of the temporarily captured districts of the Zaporizhzhia region takes children to the Russian Federation, allegedly for vacation. This is reported by the Center of National Resistance. About 300 children are to be taken to the Chuvash Republic.
“As you know, the Russians do not return the children after their removal, under the guise of martial law in the region, which was imposed on the temporarily occupied areas by the international criminal Vladimir Putin last fall,” – the Center of National Resistance is told.
At the same time, the Russians blocked the departure of residents of the temporarily occupied territory of the Zaporizhzhia region to Ukraine. Thus, the enemy uses children as hostages to force their parents to leave after them.
The opposition reminds that the abduction of children for their further assimilation is a sign of the genocide of a nation, as it is aimed at destroying the nation’s self-identity. All those who help or facilitate the removal of children are punished precisely for crimes against humanity.
What is known about the deportation of children to the Russian Federation
On March 17, the International Criminal Court in The Hague issued an arrest warrant for the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, and the Commissioner for Children in the Russian Federation, Maria Lvova-Belova. The ICJ’s decision is related to the war crimes of Putin and Lvova-Belova. They are suspected of illegally deporting the Ukrainian population, including children.
On May 24, the Prosecutor General’s Office reported that Ukraine is investigating the possible role of Belarus in the forcible deportation of children from the temporarily occupied territories.
In May, ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets stated that there was evidence of Belarus’ involvement in the illegal deportation of children to the Russian Federation.
On May 29, the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights, Dmytro Lubinets, spoke at an informal meeting of the UN Security Council on the issue of Russia’s abduction of children from the occupied territories of Ukraine. The ombudsman said that the Russian Federation is deliberately changing the legislation to make it impossible for Ukrainian children to return to their homeland, and for this purpose is using, among other things, the forced change of their citizenship to Russian. He noted that Russia does not provide any data on Ukrainian deported children, it is not even known where they are and under what conditions.
According to the human rights representative of the Verkhovna Rada, as of the end of May, Ukraine knows about 24,000 Ukrainians who went missing during Russia’s armed aggression, including children.
Mykola Kuleba, former representative of the President of Ukraine on children’s rights, founder of the “Save Ukraine” Foundation, emphasized that the occupiers are abducting and forcibly deporting our children.
Subsequently, Lubinets stated that the Russians use child labor and militarize children in the temporarily occupied territories.
Russian troops are also exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in the temporarily occupied territory in order to persuade parents to take passports for their children in exchange for “social payments”.
The Russian authorities are trying to shift the world’s attention from the deportation of children by creating a commission to investigate “crimes by the Ukrainian authorities” against minors since 2014.

Ukrainians in temporarily occupied areas face confiscation of cars and arrest for 30 days: Russians are looking for informants of the Armed Forces
The Russians introduced martial law only in the temporarily occupied territory, so the restrictions will affect Ukrainians.
In the territories of Ukraine temporarily occupied by the Russians, they are going to arrest Ukrainians for 30 days and confiscate their cars. Introduced a kind of “martial law” among the Russians, so he invented punishments for violators. This was announced on June 27 by the head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration, Artem Lisogor.

The last day has shown that the Russians have gathered strength for the attacks of Stelmakhivka, although the defenders are confidently repelling these weak efforts. An airstrike was recorded in the village of Bilogorivka – it was not only struck from the air, but also shelled by artillery.
The Kremlin enacted a law that allows citizens to be detained for violating martial law for 30 days
Moreover, passenger transport in the region will begin to be delayed if the driver does not have a route map.
It should be noted that Russia introduced martial law only in the temporarily occupied territory. That is, additional pressure will apply exclusively to Ukrainians.
It will become even more difficult to leave the temporarily occupied areas, the head of the regional military administration claims, because now the occupiers will start confiscating cars, detaining Ukrainian citizens at their discretion and arresting everyone who does not have pro-Russian views.
In Pryvil, the Russians strengthened the counter-intelligence regime, trying to identify informants of the Armed Forces among the local population.
The occupying authorities began to drive around the city and use a loudspeaker to threaten responsibility for communicating with people from Ukraine controlled by Kyiv.
If such cases are detected, women face arrest for 15 days, men – for 30.
