According to the Center for Civil Liberties (CCL), a Ukrainian human rights organization that has been documenting war crimes since 2014 in Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk — and since 2022 across all occupied territories — at least 7,000 civilians are currently being held illegally. However, only 1,600 of those cases have been officially confirmed. The remaining 5,400 are listed as missing and may be in the same situation.
