Russia: Ukrainian prisoners deported – the tactics behind it

Between 2,500 and 5,000 Ukrainian prisoners are said to have been deported from the Kherson region to Russian prisons. Russia is supposed to be pursuing a very specific tactic.

Moscow is said to have deported more than 2,500 Ukrainian prisoners from the Cherson region to Russia. This is reported by “Sirena”, a project by Alexei Navalny’s team, citing its own data and information from the human rights organizations “Russia behind bars” and “Gulagu.net”.

Relatives of the deported prisoners testified that last May the prisoners from the colonies in the Kherson and Mykolaiv regions were initially transferred to a penal camp near the city of Kherson. At that time, the region was under occupation by Russian troops. However, two weeks before their withdrawal last November, the Russian military brought the prisoners to Russia.
