Ukrainian researchers say they have uncovered dozens of facilities in Russia and Belarus where forcibly deported Ukrainians have been held since Russia's invasion began.

Researchers say that parents are tortured for information and forced to work in prison camps while their children are sent elsewhere — first to occupied territories like Donetsk and Luhansk, and then to Russia or Belarus.

Entire families have also been forcibly deported, Kyiv says, telling the United Nations in December 2022 that more than 2.5 million Ukrainians of all ages were deported in the initial months of Russia’s invasion.
