Thousands of Ukrainian civilians are being held in detention centers

The Media Initiative for Human Rights, a Ukrainian NGO, has identified about 130 detention facilities that have held or are holding Ukrainian civilians in Russia, Belarus, and occupied areas of Ukraine. Kyiv has confirmed the detention of 1,700 Ukrainian civilians in Russia and occupied territories, although the real number is likely much higher. Some 37,000 Ukrainians — civilians and military members — remain unaccounted for.
