In 2022, the world witnessed the unprovoked armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, resulting inter alia in the forcible transfer of the civilian population of Ukraine to the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine and the deportation to the territory of the Russian Federation (RF) and the Republic of Belarus (RB). It is difficult to estimate the number of people subjected to forcible transfer or deportation, but there have been thousands of them – adults and children – who were forcibly taken by the Russian military outside the populated settlements that were in the war zone or were occupied by RF.
