Details: Human rights activists note that currently Kherson and Zaporizhia oblasts are leading in the number of abductions carried out by the Russian military in Ukraine.

Torture, gender-based violence, and abductions have become "part of Russia's policy of breaking the will of the residents in the occupied territories of Ukraine."

Yevhenii Tsymbaliuk recalled the "Isolation" Prison in occupied Donetsk: "We know very well about the horrors that have been going on there, so we must stop Russia from spreading this prison throughout Ukraine."
