Almost 200 Ukrainian civilians abducted by the Russian invaders in occupied Luhansk oblast alone

The real figure could be much higher as the relatives of people abducted are often on occupied territory themselves and cannot safely report the abduction

Russia moves to cut already pitiful level of compensation for the homes it destroyed in Mariupol

Even in Mariupol where Moscow waged a major propaganda drive about its supposed 'reconstruction', the latter has primarily been for Russians who 'buy' up properties on land which held the homes Russia destroyed or on expropriated land

Ukrainians treated as ‘foreigners’ and stripped of all rights in Russian-occupied Ukraine

Had the invader's 'referendum' at gunpoint really produced overwhelming support for 'joining Russia', the latter would hardly need the aggressively coercive measures being taken to force Ukrainians to accept the occupiers' citizenhip

Ukrainian living in Russia sentenced to 13 years on ‘treason’ charge for sending money to family in Ukraine

Ostap Demchuk, together with his 17-year-old daughter, had clearly been targeted because he was Ukrainian, even before the FSB came up with grotesque ‘treason’ charges

Ukraine names Russian commander suspected of issuing order to kill civilians in Bucha

At least thirteen civilians were shot and killed in the three days after Artem Tireiev ordered his men to open fire at anybody passing by. The victims included Iryna Filkyna who was recognized because of her red fingernails

• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

58-year-old Sevastopol activist sentenced to 15 years for opposing Russia’s war against Ukraine

Russia has, as always, concealed virtually everything about its fast-track ‘treason trial’ against Oksana Senedzhuk, but there is every reason to believe that the charges and horrific sentence are politically motivated

Russia blocks YouTube and VPN in occupied Ukraine

Together with aggressive indoctrination and propaganda, Russia is seeking to impose a full information blockade both at home and on all illegally occupied Ukrainian territory

Mustafa Dzhemilev: Russia’s occupation of Crimea spells the death of the Crimean Tatar people and forced exile

Russia would almost certainly use any 'peace deal' as opportunity to prepare for further aggression, while Crimean Tatars and other Ukrainians under Russian occupation would continue to endure mounting terror and repression

Russia stages fake ‘saboteur’ trial after abducting 56-year-old Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant employee

While systematically bombing Ukrainian electrical infrastructure, Russia is claiming, almost certainly without evidence that 56-year-old Natalia Shulha was part of a ‘plot’ to damage an electricity pylon

Ukrainian sentenced to 22 years as ‘rail partisan’ in Russian-occupied Crimea

As well as specific incriminating details about this ‘trial’, it is worth remembering Russia’s track record in abducting and torturing Crimeans, and threatening to kill them or hurt their families in order to extract ‘confessions’

Russian invaders abduct 53-year-old Ukrainian and sentence her to 9 years on insane ‘international terrorism’ charges

The charges laid by the aggressor state against Iryna Kulish were very obviously fabricated, as well as extraordinarily cynical and lawless given that Russia is illegally occupying her Ukrainian home

• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Same fake ‘secret witness’ used in multiple Russian ‘trials’ of Crimean Tatar civic journalists and activists

Crimean Solidarity journalist Rustem Osmanov and three civic activists are facing huge sentences without any crime on the basis of a ‘secret witness’ already used by the FSB for huge sentences in over ten other cases
