This analytical review for March 2026 examines 16 testimonies concerning civilians unlawfully deprived of liberty by the Russian Federation and occupation administrations. It documents enforced disappearance in all cases, as well as patterns of arbitrary detention, torture, unlawful transfer, politically motivated prosecution and violations of the right to a fair trial. The findings bear indications of war crimes and may amount to crimes against humanity.

The analytical note is devoted to the practical implementation of Resolution No. 1775 of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, which provides for priority support for civilians affected by deprivation of liberty resulting from the armed aggression against Ukraine. The document analyzes how ready this mechanism is for practical application, identifies risks that may hinder access to assistance, and outlines key issues that require further regulatory and organizational improvement.
