Right now, thousands of Ukrainians are missing or detained. Since 2014, Russia has been kidnapping and persecuting civilians in occupied Ukrainian territories. These abductions are part of a broader pattern of human rights violations, well-documented by international organisations, human rights groups, and Ukrainian authorities.

In summer 2024, two journalists, Alona Savchuk from Ukraine and Robert Putzbach from Germany, collaborated to publish materials on this topic in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.

Hungarian journalist and EUD media network manager Kornelia Kiss speaks with Alona Savchuk and Robert Putzbach about their investigation and findings. The interview was recorded in October 2024.
