Forward to the times of the Russian Empire! The invaders are dragging the occupied Ukrainian territories into the past at an accelerated pac

For "maximum integration" into the Russian Federation, the occupiers plan to return the coat of arms of the Kherson region during the region's membership in the Russian Empire and give its residents the right to obtain russian citizenship.

In addition, the invaders are trying to introduce ruble settlements in the occupied lands, as well as to restore the railway connection with the temporarily occupied Crimea.

Citizens who disagree with the "accelerated integration" of the Kherson region are being tortured by russians in basements.

In Kherson, in the village of Novooleksiyivka, in the city of Henichesk, the occupation "administrations" or the russian military are compiling lists of activists who took part in the civil blockade of Crimea in 2015, or those who served in the anti-terrorist operation.

They come home and take them away, under the barrels of machine guns.

Currently, 500 people are being held in torture chambers by racists in the Kherson region and are being brutally tortured by the occupiers.

Such actions by russian aggressors in the temporarily occupied territories are a war crime as defined by the Statute of the International Military Tribunal and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, and a violation of the Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War.

I appeal to the UN Commission for Investigation Human Rights Violations during the Russian Invasion of Ukraine to take into account these facts of war crimes and human rights violations in Ukraine.
