UN Report Exposes Russian Abuses in Occupied Ukraine

The United Nations documents widespread human rights violations, including torture and forced Russian identity imposition.

The UN accuses Russia of creating a 'climate of fear' in occupied Ukraine through intimidation, arbitrary detention, and torture.
The report is based on over 2,300 interviews, documenting widespread abuses including the execution of civilians and conflict-related sexual violence.
Moscow has annexed large portions of Ukraine since its 2022 invasion, imposing Russian identity, language, and laws.
The International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for Putin related to the forced deportation of Ukrainian children.
The UN report criticizes the vagueness of Ukraine's law on collaboration, suggesting it could criminalize necessary conduct for normal life under occupation.
