Deportation and Forcible Transfer of Ukrainian Citizens, Including Children

Russia continues to deport Crimean Tatar political prisoners to penal colonies that are sometimes thousands of kilometers away from Crimea. Crimean Tatar activist and journalist Lutfiye Zudiyeva reported on October 9 that Russian officials are preparing to deport four Crimean Tatar women — Esmie Nimetulaeva, Elviza Alieva, Nasiba Saidova, and Fevziye Osmanova — from a pre-trial detention center in occupied Simferopol, Crimea, to another pre-trial detention center in Russia’s Rostov-on-Don.[1] The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) initially detained the four women during a series of searches in occupied Bakhchysarai Raion in October 2025 on the allegation of their involvement in the Hizb ut-Tahrir pan-Islamic organization.[2] The Kyivsky Raion occupation court in occupied Simferopol extended the women’s pre-trial detention in June 2026 until September 2026.[3] Russian security services have routinely used alleged affiliation with Hizb ut-Tahrir as justification for the harsh detention and excessive sentencing of Crimean Tatars, increasingly including women, since 2014.[4] Occupied Crimea-based human rights monitoring group Crimean Tribunal reported on October 13 that Russia recently deported Crimean Tatar political prisoner Ismail Shemshedinov, who Russian security forces detained without explanation or cause in January 2024 and later charged with treason in July 2025, to the IK-2 Prosvet maximum security penal colony in Kurgan Oblast (2,500 kilometers from occupied Crimea).[5] Crimean Tatar human rights activist Zarema Barieeva additionally reported on October 13 that Russia moved Crimean Tatar entrepreneur Ekrem Mamedov from Vladimir Central Prison in Vladimir Oblast to an unspecified penal colony in the Adygea Republic.[6] Russian security services arrested Mamedov in July 2024 and charged him with “financing an illegal armed formation” before deporting him to Vladimir Central Prison to serve his sentence. [7] Russia officially stripped Mamedov of his Russian citizenship, which he was coerced to take after the occupation of the peninsula, to make his return to Crimea legally impossible. Mamedov’s health reportedly deteriorated significantly while at Vladimir Central. These three politically motivated deportations are consistent with the broader pattern of Russian repression against Crimean Tatars since the days of the Soviet Union.[8] Russia has used the deportation of Crimean Tatars to penal colonies in Russia as a means of limiting their ability to contact legal representatives or family members.[9] The conditions within Russian penal colonies are often dire, which risks exposing prisoners to a variety of health and sanitary concerns. The routine deportation of Crimean Tatar prisoners to Russia also aids Russian efforts to depopulate ethnic minority groups from Crimea and elsewhere in occupied Ukraine.

The Kherson Oblast occupation administration is preparing to temporarily deport 50 children from occupied Kherson Oblast to a health camp in Krasnodar Krai. The Kherson Oblast occupation administration announced on October 11 that it will transport 50 children to southern Russia to spend October 24 through November 13 attending the “Chernomorets” children’s health camp in Anapa.[10] The occupation administration reported that the Association of Children’s Camps and Health Resorts of Krasnodar Krai and the Committee of Families of Soldiers of the Fatherland are coordinating the program, which is intended to “rehabilitate” children aged 6-18 whose parents are fighting in the Russian military (presumably including those who were forcibly conscripted or mobilized), children from large families, and children in “difficult life situations” through various treatment and exposure to fresh air.[11] The Kherson Oblast occupation administration specifically noted that children will attend the camp without parental supervision. Chernomorets is part of a broader network of health and recreation camps located throughout Russia to which occupation officials routinely transport Ukrainian children.[12] ISW has previously reported that these camps typically expose children to pro-Russian programming and aim to assimilate Ukrainian children into the broader Russian socio-cultural and physical space.[13] The removal of children from their homeland and their transfer across international borders by an occupying power for the purpose of indoctrination is inherently coercive and thus likely constitutes a violation of international law.[14]

Russian troops appear to have facilitated the forced removal or deportation of a group of civilians from the combat zone in northern Kharkiv Oblast. Ukrainian Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets reported on October 9 that Russian military personnel “removed” 25 civilians, including children and the elderly, from an unspecified occupied area in Kharkiv Oblast near the frontline.[15] Lubinets stated that Russian sources justified the removal as a necessary “rescue operation” but that in reality it was coerced and residents were not given the option to stay. Lubinets also emphasized that Russia has not provided the Ukrainian government with the whereabouts of the civilians and stated that he has appealed to the Russian Human Rights Commissioner to demand information about the names, locations, and wellbeing of all 25 civilians. Russian soldiers have frequently removed civilians from frontline areas under the guise of a necessary evacuation, then going on to passportize evacuated civilians and facilitate their deportation to Russia in apparent violation of international law.[16]

Sociocultural Control

Nothing significant to report.

Militarization of Occupied Areas

Russian officials and youth organizations continue to normalize military-style training in schools in occupied Ukraine. The press service of the occupied Kherson Oblast branch of Yunarmia (Russian Young Army Cadets National Movement) reported on October 11 that representatives of Yunarmia and the Henichesk occupation administration held a firearms training lesson at School No. 2 in occupied Novooleksiivka. Students learned the design, purpose, and operating principles of the AK-12 assault rifle during the training program.[17] Yunarmia’s Kherson Oblast branch emphasized that a significant outcome of such interactions with schoolchildren is that they help “spark interest” in the Russian Armed Forces and encourage young people to take a “more informed approach to pre-conscription training.” Exposure to military-style training and conscription and mobilization preparation has become increasingly common within the Russian-controlled education system in temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.[18] Youth organizations and military patriotic programs such as Yunarmia are instrumental in facilitating these increasingly widespread efforts, which explicitly aim to prepare and encourage Ukrainian schoolchildren to serve in the Russian army. These efforts reflect a broader strategy to militarize the future generations of Ukrainian children in service of the Russian state.

Administrative and Bureaucratic Control

Occupation Administration Mismanagement and Internal Dynamics

Russian plans for housing development in occupied Mariupol are causing social strife amongst residents. Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR) occupation First Deputy Minister for Construction, Architecture, Housing, and Public Utilities Maksim Zhurkovsky gave an interview on October 7 to occupied Donetsk Oblast-based outlet Donetskoye Vremya and discussed renovation projects in Mariupol’s coastal Slobidka and Havan raions.[19] Zhurkovsky claimed that the occupation administration is planning to build the new “Mariinsky” residential and tourist area on the site of the Slobidka and Havan raions, presumably after destroying existing infrastructure for redevelopment. The project is slated to continue until 2045 and includes plans to build over 300,000 square meters of high-rise housing, schools, businesses, parking areas, and a tourist marina.[20]

The announcement of the Mariinsky project sparked immediate discontent amongst residents of Slobidka and Havan raions, particularly due to concerns that Russian officials would destroy pre-existing housing and force residents out of their homes.[21] An occupied Mariupol-based Telegram channel, for example, suggested that the occupation administration may offer residents of these areas “compensatory housing” certificates for homes in remote Russian regions such as Murmansk Oblast and Krasnoyarsk Krai.[22] Former Ukrainian Mariupol Mayoral Advisor Petro Andryushchenko stated that it is likely the Mariinsky project will force thousands into homelessness.[23] Zhurkovsky claimed that residents will receive new housing equivalent in size and quality to their current homes in the redeveloped district, but that claim is inconsistent with the way Russian officials have handled housing development projects in occupied Mariupol. Residents of occupied Mariupol have previously appealed directly to Russian President Vladimir Putin, stating that the occupation administration demolished their homes and has failed to provide new housing even after over four years.[24] ISW has previously observed evidence that Russian authorities are providing new housing in Mariupol to Russian citizens and regime loyalists, however, further disenfranchising Ukrainians from access to needed housing — as seems to be the case in the Slobidka and Havan raions.[25]

Physical and Legal Repressions

Russian occupation authorities continue to institutionalize a comprehensive security and judicial apparatus across occupied Ukraine, prosecuting civilians to an expanding range of alleged or fabricated sentences intended to harshly punish perceived pro-Ukrainian behaviors. Russian security services detained at least five individuals, predominantly women, in occupied Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhia oblasts between October 6 and 13 on the allegation that they had either transferred money to the Ukrainian military or had justified Ukrainian military actions or defamed the Russian military on social media networks.[26] Occupation courts in occupied Zaporizhia, Kherson, and Luhansk oblasts and Crimea approved indictments or issued sentences against residents in at least seven distinct cases between October 6 and 13 on allegations of treason, terrorist, or extremist activities.[27] These detentions and prosecutions are a small sample set of routine actions that are occurring within the broader repressive judicial environment in occupied Ukraine, marked by widespread arbitrary detentions, prolonged incarceration without trial, and hefty, sometimes decade-long sentences intended to deter resistance and suppress expressions of pro-Ukrainian attitudes.

Economic and Financial Control

The Russian government continues efforts to subsidize agricultural production in occupied Ukraine, optimizing the resources of occupied areas for Russian extraction and profit. Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin announced on October 13 that the Russian government plans to extend crop-insurance subsidies to agricultural producers in occupied Ukraine starting on January 1, 2027.[28] Mishustin claimed that this decision will “facilitate the integration” of occupied Ukraine into Russia. Russian occupation officials claimed that occupied regions have produced several million tons of crops, including grains, in 2026.[29] The Ukrainian government recently estimated that there are nearly 10 million harvestable tons of grain and other crops in occupied territories.[30] This number is significantly higher than Russian harvest claims (which are in the low millions), suggesting that the Russian government is seeking to use subsidies to maximize agricultural output potential. The Russian government planned to increase the federal budget for funding agricultural industries in occupied areas by 25 percent in 2026, for example.[31] Russia has historically exported grain and crops harvested in occupied Ukraine onto international markets for its own profit and is therefore incentivized to provide agricultural subsidies to occupied areas in order to maximize extractive profit potential.[32] The Russian government continues fund recapitalization efforts in occupied Ukraine in order to bolster key industries for extraction. Russian Minister of Industry and Trade Anton Alikhanov announced on October 8 that the new 3-year draft federal budget allocated 184 billion rubles ($2 billion) to finance industrial support mechanisms, including a cluster investment platform, industrial mortgages, and preferential loans via the Industrial Development Fund.[33] Alikhanov added that the budget allocates 2.4 billion rubles ($27 million) towards restoring the industrial potential of occupied Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhia oblasts through the recapitalization of regional funds.[34] Recapitalization refers to the restructuring of a company’s capital structure by changing its debt and equity mix, often in order to reduce financial risk and finance growth incentives.[35] The Kherson Oblast occupation administration reported on October 11 that Russia’s implementation of these measures is aimed at systematically restoring and developing the industrial sectors in temporarily occupied territories, both increasing production output and creating new jobs.[36] ISW has extensively reported on Russia’s efforts to stimulate economic development and create incentives for investment into the industrial sector in temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, including by nationalizing industrial assets and recapitalizing regional funds.[37] Russia’s recapitalization of critical industrial companies is likely in part an attempt to stimulate the long-term profitability of economic assets in occupied territories, further setting conditions for Russia to economically benefit from occupying Ukrainian territory.
