Expert: Exporting Ukrainians to Russia during the war is deportation, not evacuation

Proof of this is the fact that our citizens must pass through the filtration camps set up by the Russians on the territory of ORDLO.

SCM Communications Director, Member of the Foundation's Supervisory Board Rinata Akhmetova Natalia Yemchenko explained that deporting Ukrainians to Russia from any city in our country is deportation. She told more about this in the materials “From the hell of war – into the trap of lawlessness” for ZN.UA.

“According to humanitarian law, the deportation of Mariupol residents, including Ukrainian citizens, to Russia during the war is not an evacuation. It is deportation: without the consent of Ukraine, through filtration camps and resettlement in remote regions of Russia. From Mariupol to Ukraine In the direction of Zaporozhye, there was no full-fledged evacuation – Russia blocked it. Despite Ukraine's daily attempts to provide such a corridor and evacuation. The only exception is the recent evacuation of people from the Azovstal bomb shelters, “Yemchenko said.In early March, the Foundation's hotline began receiving calls from people in need of evacuation. The first were the inhabitants of Volnovakha and their relatives. In a few days Mariupol was added. Later, calls from Mariupol residents began from filtration camps in Donetsk, Starobeshevo, and Bezymennoye. And at the end of March they were joined by calls from Russia – Voronezh, Tambov, Perm, Vladivostok – where the deportees had already been brought. Yes, some people went to Russia voluntarily, but in most cases people had no choice, says the expert. And this is confirmed by numerous appeals to her personally and to the hotline of the Foundation of Citizens of Ukraine, who found themselves outside our country, and their relatives.

circumstance. All Ukrainians deported to the territory of the so-called “DPR” pass through filtration camps set up by Russians on the territory of ORDLO. There, people have to live in difficult conditions and unsanitary conditions for several days, during which they are subjected to searches, long-term interrogations and other inspections, and their documents are confiscated. Men, who are often separated from the general flow of “refugees” and housed separately, are treated particularly harshly. Men are undressed in search of tattoos that could indicate their affiliation, say, to the Azov Regiment, bruises from butts, examine their hands for calluses from weapons.

Deportees are fingerprinted, photographed in profile and full face, brought to a special database, connected to computers, merged all content, and then carefully studied photos, subscriber numbers, instant messaging and chats.
