The analytical review for November 2025 was prepared on the basis of an analysis of twenty (20) testimonies provided by individuals who were unlawfully deprived of their personal liberty as a result of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, as well as by their close relatives. The testimonies cover the period from 2022 to 2025 and concern the detention of civilians in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine and their subsequent confinement in the occupied territories and in the Russian Federation.

The project is implemented with the support of the Norwegian Helsinki Committee (NHC). The views and conclusions expressed are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the position of the NHC.

Since 2022, we have interviewed 402 witnesses of enforced disappearances, arbitrary detentions and crimes against civilians, including shelling of civilian infrastructure, appropriation of private property by the occupiers, and illegal deprivation of liberty. As of the end of November 2024, information on 254 civilians who were arbitrarily detained by representatives of the Russian Federation or groups controlled by the aggressor country was found, of which 16 were identified during the processing of testimonies in November 2024.
