Since 2022, we have interviewed 362 witnesses of enforced disappearances, arbitrary detentions, and crimes against the civilian population, including the shelling of civilian infrastructure, appropriation of private property by occupiers, and illegal deprivation of liberty. As of the end of September 2024, information has been uncovered about 221 civilians who were arbitrarily detained by representatives of the Russian Federation or groups controlled by the aggressor country, of which 17 individuals were identified during the processing of testimonies in September 2024.

The 2025 report of the legal service summarises systemic support provided to unlawfully detained persons, released individuals, and their families. The 562 consultations and cases of legal support reflect not only the scale of demand for legal assistance, but also the difficulties families face: uncertainty about the whereabouts of their relatives, the complexity of procedures, a lack of clear information, and the need for ongoing legal support.
