Report on “Deportations as Mass Repressions against Humanity from History to the Present”

This report focuses on the war crime of mass deportations, highlighting the forced transfer of Ukrainians to the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus. This practice, rooted in Soviet-era policies, is not a new phenomenon.

During the Soviet period, an estimated 6 million people, including Ukrainians, Poles, Crimean Tatars, Germans, Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanians, and Greeks, were forcibly deported.

Since the large-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, approximately 2.8 million people, including children, have been unlawfully relocated.Such mass repressions carry devastating demographic consequences and inflict psychological, economic, and environmental harm on the affected regions.

This report seeks to shed light on the magnitude of this tragedy, examining the forced deportation of Ukrainian citizens and its far-reaching impacts.
