UAKidnapping in Crimea after full-scale invasion: secret detention centers, secret decree of Putin and hundreds of names
The article by Ukrainska Pravda reports on the systematic abduction of people in Crimea since Russia’s occupation began in 2014. It claims that at least 230 individuals have been victims of forced disappearances in Crimea, with an estimated number significantly higher. The practice intensified after Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, formalized by a secret Putin decree allowing detention without judicial review for 'resistance' to the Special Military Operation. The article highlights the involvement of FSB forces and describes a methodical approach to abductions, including covert transfers of abducted individuals from other occupied territories like Kherson and Zaporizhia. Information was gathered through the Ukrainian Archive of Mnemonic, which verified 94 cases post-invasion, while UN monitoring missions reported 104 abductions between 2014 and 2024. The piece emphasizes the state-sanctioned nature of these actions as part of Russia’s broader occupation strategy.
