Video Post -Represent US Day stressed that the actions of Russians related to the filtration of Ukrainians in the captured territories are considered a war crime. "The forced movement or deportation of persons who are protected from the occupied territories to the territory of the occupying country is a serious violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention for the Protection of Civilian Population, which is a war crime," Thomas Grinfield emphasized.
She noted that according to the available data, the Russian authorities used filtration and deported from 900 thousand to 1. 6 million citizens of Ukraine to the Russian Federation, often to the remote regions in the Far East. According to her, this is done by the occupying authorities to prepare the annexation of the captured territories of Ukraine, to carry out pseudo -referendums, in particular in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions.
