Short. The participants of the event will present the analytical report "Deportation of Ukrainian citizens from the territory of active hostilities or from the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine to the territory of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus", which was prepared by the expert group of the Coalition "Ukraine. It's five in the morning."
Questions for discussion:
Why is the transfer of Ukrainians from the war zone to the territory of the Russian Federation not evacuation, but deportation?
What awaits those who have not passed the "filter"?
How Russia kidnaps children, deprives them of Ukrainian citizenship, gives them up for "adoption": why does this fall under the definition of genocide?
Why forcibly deported Ukrainians in some cases cannot return or leave for European countries?
What can be the actions of international partners to contribute to the protection of rights and the return of deported persons?
