Ukrainian Human Rights Commissioner Dmytro Lubinets reports that Russian forces have forcibly removed 25 Ukrainian civilians from the occupied territory of Kharkiv Oblast. The group included children, but their exact ages and number were not specified. The civilians have been taken to an currently unknown location, raising serious concerns about their safety and well-being. Lubinets characterized this action as a violation of international humanitarian law, specifically regarding the forced transfer of protected persons. Ukrainian authorities are working to determine the identities of those deported and their current whereabouts. This incident adds to the growing number of reported forced removals of Ukrainians from occupied territories since the start of the full-scale invasion. The Ukrainian government continues to condemn these actions as war crimes.
