The invaders of the Russian Federation are carrying out a mass deportation of the population of the occupied territories of Ukraine

The Ministry of Defense of the occupier reports that 90,000 citizens of Ukraine, Moldova and Russia have already been deported from the Kherson region.  The racists call the grounds for relocation "appeals of embassies and applications submitted to the military commandant's office of Kherson."

 Over the past day alone, more than 19.6 thousand civilians, including 3,300 children, were deported from the temporarily uncontrolled territories of Ukraine in Donetsk and Luhansk regions!!

 This was announced by the head of the National Center for Defense Management of the Russian Federation, Colonel-General Mikhail Mizintsev.  In total, the racist military notes the removal of 439,420 civilians "from dangerous areas of Ukraine," of whom 91,673 are children, and 98,081 people were displaced from Mariupol "due to nationalist arbitrariness," including 4,183 children.

 The scale of the forced relocation is comparable only to Hitler's deportation to World War II.

 The occupying country is cynically and grossly violating the provisions of Article 49 of the Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, which prohibits the forced relocation or deportation of persons from the occupied territories.

 I appeal to the International Committee of the Red Cross to take all possible measures to assist in the return of Ukrainians illegally deported to Russia and to open safe humanitarian corridors from the regions of hostilities.

 I call on the international community to put even more pressure on the occupying power to liberate the entire territory of Ukraine from the racist army.
