Analytical review of the activities of the NGO “Association of Relatives of Political Prisoners of the Kremlin” regarding the documentation of war crimes committed by the Russian Federation against the civilian population in Ukraine in December 2025

The analytical review for December 2025 was prepared on the basis of an analysis of fourteen testimonies provided by witnesses and victims concerning the unlawful deprivation of personal liberty of fourteen civilian individuals as a result of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. The review covers the period from 2022 to 2025 and documents the detention of civilians in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine and in the Russian Federation, their confinement in unofficial places of detention, cases of enforced disappearance, incommunicado detention, torture, and persecution on the basis of pro-Ukrainian views or family ties. The collected materials indicate the systemic nature of these violations, which bear the hallmarks of war crimes and may amount to crimes against humanity under international criminal law.
