“The database currently records nearly 19,500 episodes of Russian crimes. Each episode contains a link to the evidence. I would like to pay attention to the disappearances of people in occupied territories. There have been 2,469 cases in the database, and more than half are recorded in the Kharkiv region [east of Ukraine – ed.] – 1,420 episodes.”
According to the co-chairman of the Kharkiv human rights group, people who show a pro-Ukrainian position are disappearing.
“Former combatants, local self-government workers, deputies, teachers, journalists, and priests are considered missing in the occupied territories. The main goal of the Russians is to destroy the Ukrainian state and the Ukrainian people,” Yevhen Zakharov, co-chairman of the Kharkiv human rights group noted.
