Russia has detained hundreds of civilians since Ukraine war began

A United Nations monitoring mission in Ukraine said on Tuesday that Russia has detained more than 800 civilians since the conflict began in February of last
year, and has executed 77 of them.
The 36-page report based on 70 visits to detention centres and more than 1,000 interviews showed that Ukraine had also violated international law by arbitrarily detaining civilians but on a considerably smaller scale.
“We documented over 900 cases of arbitrary detention of civilians, including children, and elderly people,” Matilda Bogner, Head of the U.N. rights monitoring mission in Ukraine, told a press conference by video link from Uzhhorod, Ukraine.
“The vast majority of these cases were perpetrated by the Russian Federation.”
The executions by Russia amounted to a war crime, Bogner added. No such executions were documented on the Ukrainian side.
