More than 200,000 of them are children.
Over 1 million Ukrainian citizens illegally exported to the territory of the Russian Federation , says the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights Lyudmila Densova.
“More than 1 million 186 thousand of our citizens, including more than 200 thousand children were deported to the territory of the Russian Federation” Denisova said at a briefing in Kyiv on Monday.
She noted that Ukraine has already confirmed information that Russia was preparing in advance for the forced deportation of such a large number of citizens.
“We have information that directives have been sent from the center of power in Russia to set up camps in other federal districts. Including how many camps there should be in which district, how many people, “she said.
Denisova noted that citizens deported from Ukraine were planned to be replaced by Russians who were planned to be relocated from remote regions of Russia.

She added that the deportation of more than a million citizens is a dangerous phenomenon and it is impossible to return them from the enemy country.
“First, people go through filtration camps on the territory of ORDLO. Those who have not passed the filter, they are sent in an unknown direction, we do not know their fate. All the others are taken to the Rostov region and further by trains in different directions, “the commissioner said.
Now Ukraine is trying to find such people through the Red Cross and establish contacts with them. Some people in Russian regions bordering Europe or friendly countries have been recaptured, but the most difficult thing is to connect with particularly remote regions.
Ukraine is also trying to put pressure on Russia to allow Ukrainians go to other countries.
