Russian occupation “authorities” are forcibly deporting Ukrainian prisoners to Russian territory if they refuse Russian citizenship, Ukraine’s National Resistance Center (NRC) reported on Nov. 9.

“The National Resistance Centre has received evidence of the forced deportation of Ukrainian prisoners held by the Russians in detention centres in the temporarily occupied territories [of Ukraine],” the NRC said in its message.

"Thus, concerned people sent us scans of documents on the forced transfer of Ukrainians from Luhansk to Novocherkassk (Rostov region)."

According to their information, only those Ukrainian prisoners who refuse to accept a Russian passport are being transferred.

The NRC emphasized that all collaborators involved in the abduction of Ukrainians are known to the Ukrainian resistance and will be held accountable for their actions.

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.

For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
