Russian Occupation Update, September 3, 2026

Russia continues the deportation of Ukrainian political prisoners in apparent violation of international law.

Russian occupation officials used the beginning of the 2026-2027 schoolyear to showcase enrollment figures while continuing efforts to institutionalize pro-Russian curricula, military-patriotic education, and behavioral monitoring mechanisms throughout occupied Ukraine.

Early voting for the Russian State Duma elections has begun in occupied Ukraine as Russian occupation officials continue to set conditions to control electoral outcomes.

Russian and occupation courts continue to issue over decades-long sentences to residents of occupied areas accused of pro-Ukrainian activities.

The Donetsk Oblast occupation administration is trying to present occupied Donetsk Oblast as an attractive investment destination for Russians and foreigners.

Russian elites are using their ties to development projects in occupied Ukraine for self-enrichment.

Russian state atomic energy corporation Rosatom is denying recent international warnings about the situation at the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) to present itself as a responsible and capable operator.

Russian occupation administrations continue to rely on Russian patron regions for construction and development projects in occupied areas.

Deportation and Forcible Transfer of Ukrainian Citizens, Including Children

Russia continues the deportation of Ukrainian political prisoners in apparent violation of international law. Occupied Crimea-based human rights monitoring group Crimean Tribunal reported on August 31 that Russian authorities deported pro-Ukrainian partisan activist Ksenia Svetlishina from occupied Crimea to a women’s prison in Russia’s Vologda Oblast.[1] The Sevastopol City occupation court sentenced Svetlishina to 13 years in prison in 2024 on the allegation that she shared information on Russian military movements with Ukrainian intelligence and that she vandalized public property with pro-Ukrainian graffiti.[2] Ukrainian outlet Donbas News additionally reported on August 26 that Russia has deported five Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs) and one civilian from Colony No. 2 in occupied Makiivka, Donetsk Oblast, to penal colonies in Russia over the past two weeks.[3] Donbas News noted that all the Ukrainian prisoners, including POWs, had been issued extensive sentences under Russian criminal law and that all of the prisoners have experienced deteriorating health during their detention in Makiivka. Russia’s continued deportation of Ukrainian political prisoners is likely a violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, which prohibits the deportation of civilian detainees to serve their sentences on the territory of the occupying state.[4]

Sociocultural Control

Russian occupation officials used the beginning of the 2026-2027 schoolyear to showcase enrollment figures while continuing efforts to institutionalize pro-Russian curricula, military-patriotic education, and behavioral monitoring mechanisms throughout occupied Ukraine. Occupation heads from Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhia oblasts and Crimea claimed that hundreds of thousands of children began school on September 1, including tens of thousands of first graders entering the school system for the first time.[5] Many occupation officials emphasized that most schools will be operating in-person despite the threat of drone strikes and frequent water and electricity outages.[6] The Russian Ministry of Education published recommendations in advance of the first day of school on August 28 suggesting that schools throughout Russia and occupied Ukraine feature servicemembers and veterans of the war in Ukraine in first day of school ceremonies.[7] Zaporizhia Oblast occupation head Yevgeny Balitsky posted images on September 1 of small children dressed in cadet-style uniforms interacting with uniformed Russian personnel on the occasion of the first day of school.[8] Russian Ministry of Education officials also emphasized Russian efforts to propagate state-approved history textbooks and pro-Russian curricula in occupied areas.[9] An occupied Luhansk Oblast education official notably stated on August 27 that the Russian pilot program for behavioral assessments will expand beyond the five schools in which it was being tested in occupied Luhansk Oblast.[10] The behavioral testing program is a Russian Ministry of Education initiative that seeks to grade children based on their perceived classroom behavior.[11] Ukrainian officials and human rights advocates have warned that the testing program is likely to endanger children who engage in perceived anti-Russian or pro-Ukrainian activities, therefore acting as a coercive occupation tool that extends Russian state oversight into the school system.[12]

Militarization of Occupied Areas

Nothing significant to report.

Administrative and Bureaucratic Control

Early voting for the Russian State Duma elections has begun in occupied Ukraine as Russian occupation officials continue to set conditions to control electoral outcomes. The Luhansk People’s Republic (LNR) Electoral Commission announced on August 29 that early voting has begun in occupied Luhansk Oblast and will continue until September 15.[13] Early voting is also underway for Russian military personnel in occupied Donetsk Oblast from August 30 to September 17, and for civilians starting on September 8.[14] The LNR Electoral Commission claimed that volunteers informed over 100,000 people in occupied Luhansk Oblast about the upcoming elections and helped them prepare to vote.[15] Ukraine’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SZRU) warned on August 31 that Russia is preparing to stage elections in occupied Ukraine in order to increase social control, justify funding reappropriations, and give the occupation a sense of grassroots legitimacy — echoing ISW’s assessment.[16]

Occupation Administration Mismanagement and Internal Dynamics

Physical and Legal Repressions

Russian and occupation courts continue to issue over decades-long sentences to residents of occupied areas accused of pro-Ukrainian activities. ISW collected information about seven court decisions issued by the Russian Southern District Military Court and courts in occupied Luhansk, Zaporizhia, and Donetsk oblasts and occupied Crimea between August 25 and September 1.[17] The accused in three of the seven cases were women.[18] Courts accused the defendants in all seven cases of treason or espionage on the allegation that they either shared intelligence on Russian military movements and positions with Ukraine or that they sent funds to the Ukrainian military. The courts issued corresponding sentences ranging from 13 to 23 years across the seven cases. These seven cases are consistent with a broader trend of Russian and occupation courts issuing politically motivated and inordinately intense sentences against residents of occupied Ukraine to punish them for any activity deemed to be pro-Ukrainian or anti-Russian.[19] A King’s College London study recently found that in occupied Zaporizhia Oblast, for example, the act of sending money to Ukraine is punished more harshly than murder.[20]

Economic and Financial Control

The Donetsk Oblast occupation administration is trying to present occupied Donetsk Oblast as an attractive investment destination for Russians and foreigners. Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR) Deputy Prime Minister Kirill Makarov represented occupied Donetsk Oblast at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, Russia, on September 1.[21] Russia has historically used the Eastern Economic Forum as a platform to showcase its economic development and build relationships with Asian partners, particularly the People’s Republic of China (PRC). This is the first year that the DNR government has presented at the Forum, which Makarov framed as an opportunity to advertise the region’s vast economic potential.[22] Makarov claimed that there are 16 million square meters of “ready-made investment” sites in occupied Donetsk Oblast and advertised the potential for manufacturing, logistics, tourism, and construction development. The Russian government has gone to great lengths to present occupied Ukraine as an attractive investment opportunity both to Russians and to foreign entities in order to increase the profitability of its occupation.[23]

Russian elites are using their ties to development projects in occupied Ukraine for self-enrichment. Independent Belarusian outlet Vot Tak published an investigation on August 31 detailing how Russian oligarchs and politicians are profiting off the development of occupied Mariupol.[24] Vot Tak found that Russian elites, including a relative of a Russian Presidential Administration employee, United Russia politician Sergey Kolunov, and sanctioned Russian oligarch Vladimir Yevtushenkov, have made hundreds of millions of dollars from a massive mortgage-backed construction program in occupied Ukraine. Vot Tak revealed that the Republican Construction Company (RSK) is one of the major Russian federal developers in occupied Ukraine and that Yevtushenkov has personally made millions of dollars off RSK construction in occupied areas. The investigation highlighted the fact that Russian construction projects, particularly in major occupied cities such as Mariupol, are happening at the expense of locals, many of whom are forced out of their homes to accommodate Russian-backed construction efforts. Vot Tak’s reporting is consistent with a broader trend of Russian elites, occupation regime loyalists, and Kremlin-affiliated officials using their proximity to or direct involvement in the occupation of Ukraine for personal self-aggrandizement.[25]

Information Space Control

Infrastructure and Development Projects

Russian state atomic energy corporation Rosatom is denying recent international warnings about the situation at the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) to present itself as a responsible and capable operator . The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported on August 29 that the ZNPP had been without external power supply for 10 days and only has enough fuel for diesel generators to last another 10 days.[26] Rosatom Director General Alexey Likhachev responded to the IAEA statement on August 31, noting that Rosatom welcomes the IAEA’s recognition of “the complex situation” at the ZNPP but emphasizing that Rosatom has “full control” over the situation at the plant and has very different estimates for how long the plant can autonomously operate without external power supply.[27] The ZNPP’s occupation leadership has not addressed the IAEA report as of September 2.[28] The divergence between Likhachev’s and the IAEA’s statements is likely purposeful. Rosatom and the ZNPP’s occupation leadership has engaged in a concerted effort to present themselves as capable and responsible stewards of the plant, furthering the narrative that the ZNPP is a Russian nuclear asset available for Russian use and exploitation despite widespread evidence of Russian militarization and operational malpractice at the plant.[29]

Russian occupation administrations continue to rely on Russian patron regions for construction and development projects in occupied areas. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin told Russian President Vladimir Putin on August 29 that Moscow has sponsored the reconstruction of 30 educational institutions in occupied Donetsk and Luhansk cities.[30] Sobyanin also claimed that Moscow’s city service workers have helped renovate public spaces and other buildings and structures in occupied Donetsk and Luhansk cities, including 1,900 structures in Donetsk City alone.[31] A doctor working at the Republican Vascular Center in occupied Donetsk City told Kremlin newswire TASS on August 30 that specialists from Moszhilniproekt — the Moscow Research and Design Institute of Housing — renovated the Vascular Center.[32] Moscow City is an official sponsor city of occupied Donetsk and Luhansk cities, meaning that the Moscow government channels some of the city’s funds into maintaining the occupation via construction and cultural projects.[33] The patronage system allows the Russian federal government to offset some of the costs of the occupation onto Russian federal subject budgets, while also ensuring that Russia cultivates profitable assets in occupied territories.

俄罗斯继续驱逐乌克兰政治犯，这显然违反了国际法。

俄罗斯占领当局利用 2026-2027 学年的开始来展示入学人数，同时继续努力在被占领的乌克兰各地推行亲俄课程、军事爱国主义教育和行为监控机制。

俄罗斯占领下的乌克兰已开始提前举行俄罗斯国家杜马选举投票，俄罗斯占领官员继续设定条件以控制选举结果。

俄罗斯和占领区的法院继续对被控从事亲乌克兰活动的被占领区居民判处长达数十年的刑期。

顿涅茨克州占领当局正试图将被占领的顿涅茨克州打造成为对俄罗斯人和外国人有吸引力的投资目的地。

俄罗斯精英利用其与被占领乌克兰发展项目的联系来谋取私利。

俄罗斯国家原子能公司 Rosatom 否认了近期国际社会对俄罗斯占领的扎波罗热核电站 (ZNPP) 局势的警告，以展现其作为负责任和有能力的运营商的形象。

俄罗斯占领当局继续依靠俄罗斯扶持地区在占领区开展建设和发展项目。

驱逐和强制转移乌克兰公民，包括儿童

俄罗斯继续驱逐乌克兰政治犯，此举显然违反了国际法。总部位于被占领克里米亚的人权监督组织“克里米亚法庭”于8月31日报告称，俄罗斯当局将亲乌克兰游击队活动人士克谢尼娅·斯韦特利希娜从被占领的克里米亚驱逐至俄罗斯沃洛格达州的一所女子监狱。[1] 塞瓦斯托波尔市占领法院以斯韦特利希娜向乌克兰情报部门泄露俄罗斯军事行动信息以及在公共财产上喷涂亲乌克兰涂鸦为由，判处其13年监禁，刑期至2024年。[2] 乌克兰媒体“顿巴斯新闻”于8月26日进一步报道称，过去两周，俄罗斯已将五名乌克兰战俘和一名平民从顿涅茨克州马基伊夫卡被占领的2号拘留营驱逐至俄罗斯境内的监狱。[3]顿巴斯新闻指出，所有乌克兰囚犯，包括战俘，都根据俄罗斯刑法被判处长期监禁，而且所有囚犯在马基伊夫卡监狱被拘留期间健康状况均有所恶化。俄罗斯持续驱逐乌克兰政治犯很可能违反了《关于战时保护平民的日内瓦第四公约》，该公约禁止将平民被拘留者驱逐到占领国境内服刑。[4]

社会文化控制

俄罗斯占领当局利用2026-2027学年的开学，大肆宣传入学人数，同时继续在被占领的乌克兰境内推行亲俄课程、军事爱国主义教育和行为监控机制。顿涅茨克、卢甘斯克、赫尔松、扎波罗热州和克里米亚的占领当局领导人声称，9月1日有数十万儿童开学，其中包括数万名首次进入学校系统的一年级新生。[5] 许多占领当局官员强调，尽管面临无人机袭击的威胁以及频繁的停水停电，大多数学校仍将正常开课。[6] 俄罗斯教育部在8月28日开学前发布建议，建议俄罗斯和被占领的乌克兰各地的学校在开学典礼上邀请现役军人和乌克兰战争老兵参加。[7]扎波罗热州占领当局负责人叶夫根尼·巴利茨基于9月1日发布了一些照片，照片中身着学员制服的小孩与身穿制服的俄罗斯人员互动，当天是开学第一天。[8] 俄罗斯教育部官员也强调了俄罗斯在占领区推广国家认可的历史教科书和亲俄课程的努力。[9] 值得注意的是，卢甘斯克州一位被占领的教育官员于8月27日表示，俄罗斯的行为评估试点项目将扩展到卢甘斯克州五所试点学校之外。[10] 这项行为测试项目是俄罗斯教育部的一项举措，旨在根据学生在课堂上的行为对其进行评分。[11]乌克兰官员和人权倡导者警告说，这项测试计划可能会危及那些被认为参与反俄或亲乌克兰活动的儿童，因此会成为一种强制性的占领工具，将俄罗斯的国家监督扩展到学校系统。[12]

占领区的军事化

没有什么重大事项需要报告。

行政和官僚控制

在俄罗斯占领乌克兰境内，俄罗斯国家杜马选举的提前投票已经开始，俄罗斯占领官员继续设置条件以控制选举结果。卢甘斯克人民共和国（LNR）选举委员会于8月29日宣布，被占领的卢甘斯克州已开始提前投票，并将持续到9月15日。[13] 8月30日至9月17日，被占领的顿涅茨克州的俄罗斯军人也开始提前投票；9月8日，平民也开始提前投票。[14] 卢甘斯克人民共和国选举委员会声称，志愿者已向被占领的卢甘斯克州超过10万人宣传了即将举行的选举，并帮助他们做好投票准备。[15]乌克兰对外情报局 (SZRU) 于 8 月 31 日警告称，俄罗斯正准备在被占领的乌克兰举行选举，以加强社会控制，为资金重新分配提供正当理由，并赋予占领者一种基层合法性——这与 ISW 的评估相呼应。[16]

职业管理不善及内部动态

身体和法律上的压迫

俄罗斯和占领当局的法院继续对被占领区居民判处长达数十年的刑期，这些居民被指控从事亲乌克兰活动。ISW收集了8月25日至9月1日期间，俄罗斯南部地区军事法院以及被占领的卢甘斯克州、扎波罗热州、顿涅茨克州和克里米亚的法院作出的七项判决的信息。[17] 在这七起案件中，有三起案件的被告是女性。[18] 所有七起案件的被告均被指控犯有叛国罪或间谍罪，理由是他们向乌克兰泄露了有关俄罗斯军事行动和阵地的情报，或者向乌克兰军方输送资金。法院对这七起案件判处的刑期从13年到23年不等。这七起案件与俄罗斯和占领当局的法院对被占领的乌克兰居民进行政治动机驱动的、过重的判决这一更广泛的趋势相符，目的是惩罚他们从事任何被认为是亲乌克兰或反俄的活动。[19]伦敦国王学院最近的一项研究发现，例如在被占领的扎波罗热州，向乌克兰汇款的惩罚比谋杀还要严厉。[20]

经济和金融控制

顿涅茨克州占领当局正试图将占领的顿涅茨克州打造成为对俄罗斯人和外国人都具有吸引力的投资目的地。9月1日，顿涅茨克人民共和国（DNR）副总理基里尔·马卡罗夫代表被占领的顿涅茨克州出席了在俄罗斯符拉迪沃斯托克举行的东方经济论坛。[21] 俄罗斯历来将东方经济论坛作为展示其经济发展成果并与亚洲伙伴，特别是中华人民共和国（PRC）建立关系的平台。今年是顿涅茨克人民共和国政府首次参加该论坛，马卡罗夫将其视为宣传该地区巨大经济潜力的良机。[22] 马卡罗夫声称，被占领的顿涅茨克州拥有1600万平方米的“现成投资”用地，并大力宣传了制造业、物流业、旅游业和建筑业的发展潜力。俄罗斯政府不遗余力地将占领的乌克兰描绘成对俄罗斯人和外国实体都极具吸引力的投资机会，以提高其占领的盈利能力。[23]

俄罗斯精英利用其与被占领乌克兰发展项目的关系中饱私囊。白俄罗斯独立媒体Vot Tak于8月31日发表了一项调查，详细揭露了俄罗斯寡头和政客如何从被占领的马里乌波尔的开发项目中获利。[24] Vot Tak发现，包括俄罗斯总统办公厅一名雇员的亲属、统一俄罗斯党政治家谢尔盖·科卢诺夫以及受制裁的俄罗斯寡头弗拉基米尔·叶夫图申科夫在内的俄罗斯精英，已从被占领乌克兰的一项大规模抵押贷款支持建设项目中获利数亿美元。Vot Tak披露，共和建设公司（RSK）是俄罗斯在被占领乌克兰的主要联邦开发商之一，叶夫图申科夫本人已从RSK在被占领地区的建设项目中获利数百万美元。调查凸显了这样一个事实：俄罗斯的建设项目，尤其是在马里乌波尔等被占领的大城市，是以牺牲当地居民的利益为代价的，许多当地居民被迫离开家园，以配合俄罗斯支持的建设工作。沃特·塔克的报道与俄罗斯精英、占领政权的拥护者以及与克里姆林宫有关联的官员利用其与乌克兰占领的密切关系或直接参与其中来谋取个人利益的更广泛趋势相符。[25]

信息空间控制

基础设施和发展项目

俄罗斯国家原子能公司（Rosatom）否认近期国际社会对俄占扎波罗热核电站（ZNPP）局势的警告，试图将自身塑造成负责任且有能力的运营者。国际原子能机构（IAEA）于8月29日报告称，扎波罗热核电站已断电10天，柴油发电机仅剩燃料，够再运行10天。[26] 俄罗斯国家原子能公司总经理阿列克谢·利哈乔夫于8月31日回应了国际原子能机构的声明，指出俄罗斯国家原子能公司欢迎国际原子能机构承认扎波罗热核电站“局势复杂”，但强调俄罗斯国家原子能公司对电站局势拥有“完全控制权”，并且对电站断电后能够自主运行的时间有截然不同的估计。[27] 截至9月2日，扎波罗热核电站的占领当局尚未对国际原子能机构的报告作出回应。[28]利哈乔夫和国际原子能机构的声明之间的分歧很可能是故意的。俄罗斯国家原子能公司和锡尔夫核电站的占领领导层一直在共同努力，把自己塑造成该电站有能力、负责任的管理者，进一步强化了锡尔夫核电站是俄罗斯的核资产，可供俄罗斯使用和开发的说法，尽管有大量证据表明俄罗斯在该电站存在军事化和操作不当行为。[29]

俄罗斯占领当局继续依赖俄罗斯扶持地区在被占领土开展建设和发展项目。莫斯科市长谢尔盖·索比亚宁8月29日告诉俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京，莫斯科资助了被占领的顿涅茨克市和卢甘斯克市30所教育机构的重建。[30] 索比亚宁还声称，莫斯科市政工作人员帮助翻新了被占领的顿涅茨克市和卢甘斯克市的公共空间和其他建筑物，仅顿涅茨克市就翻新了1900处建筑。[31] 8月30日，一名在被占领的顿涅茨克市共和国血管中心工作的医生告诉克里姆林宫通讯社塔斯社，莫斯科住房研究设计院（Moszhilniproekt）的专家翻新了血管中心。[32]莫斯科市是顿涅茨克和卢甘斯克两座被占领城市的官方赞助城市，这意味着莫斯科市政府将该市的部分资金用于通过建设和文化项目来维持占领。[33] 这种赞助制度使俄罗斯联邦政府能够将部分占领成本转嫁到俄罗斯联邦主体预算中，同时确保俄罗斯在被占领土上培育有利可图的资产。
