Russian occupation “authorities” forcibly relocate Ukrainian citizens to Russia, scattering them across 55 remote regions of the country, Ukraine’s National Resistance Center said in a message on its website on April 7.
“The invaders continue to deport Ukrainians by calling it an evacuation,” NRC said.
“In general, Ukrainians have already been resettled in 55 regions (of Russia).”
The report emphasized that the Russians are pursuing a policy of genocide in occupied Ukrainian territories, with the ultimate goal being the destruction of the Ukrainian nation.
NRC added that people, forcibly or deceitfully “evacuated” by Moscow-appointed officials, are dispatched to disparate Russian regions, where they are pressed to apply for Russian passports.
“Consequently, Ukrainians from temporarily occupied territories are being deported for further assimilation in remote Russian lands,” the message concludes.
