Russia conducts ethnic cleansing in occupied territories through eviction, assimilation

The Russian Federation is carrying out ethnic cleansing in the temporarily occupied territories by evicting Ukrainians and assimilating them, which, according to international law, is a form of genocide. This policy of the Russian Federation requires an immediate response from the international community to stop this practice. Regardless of whether the hostilities continue or are stopped, it is necessary to introduce mechanisms of international control over the observance of human rights in the temporarily occupied territories, in particular through the deployment of a UN mission.
