UN report says Russia using 'fear' to control occupied Ukraine
Russia has tortured and arbitrarily detained people in occupied Ukraine, creating a "climate of fear" and suppressing Ukrainian identity, a UN report said.
Russia illegally occupied the Crimean Peninsula in 2014, and its proxy separatist groups seized two regional capitals in eastern Ukraine that same year. The 2022 invasion led to Moscow's seizure of additional land in eastern and southern Ukraine. It now controls more than 17% of Ukraine's territory, where several million people remain.
The report, which the UN Human Rights Office said was based on over 2,300 interviews, accused Moscow of "committing widespread violations" of human rights law. Russia has imposed its "language, citizenship, laws, court system, and education curricula on the occupied areas," while suppressing a Ukrainian identity, the UN office said in a release accompanying the report.
