Hundreds of Ukrainians were detained and abducted in Kherson region during the Russian occupation

Hundreds of people were detained or went missing in the southern Kherson region while it was under Russian occupation, as researchers from Yale University have concluded.

The report documents the detentions and disappearances of at least 226 people in Kherson between March and October 2022, a quarter of whom were allegedly tortured, and five of whom died.

Nathaniel Raymond, the lab’s executive director, said the report corroborates warnings from the US ahead of the conflict of Russian use of capture and kill lists against civilians, Sky News reports.

“This is the strongest proof that that is happening,” Mr. Raymond said.
