Hundreds of residents of Mariupol, southeastern Ukraine, are said to have migrated to the Russian Far East.
According to CNN on the 24th, Lyudmila Denisova, the human rights inspector of the Ukrainian parliament, said that “Russia forcibly relocated the residents of Mariupol to Primorsky Oblast (Primorsky Krai), 8,000 km away from their hometown.”
Supervisor Denisova said 308 residents of Mariupol arrived at Nakhodka station near Vladivostok on the 21st, including women, children and people with disabilities.
Mariupol Mayor Tefro Andriuschenko said that Russia took 308 people from Mariupol.
Local media in Vladivostok said that 308 residents of Mariupol arrived at Nakhodka Station on the 21st and released photos and videos of them getting off the train. Arriving at the station, they headed for temporary accommodation in nearby Wrangel. Some smiled, while others burst into tears.

They are staying in temporary accommodation in nearby Wrangel. 14 temporary accommodations for Ukrainian refugees have been reported in the Primorsky Territory. It is large enough to accommodate 1,350 migrants from the Luhansk People’s Republic (LPR), the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) and other regions of Ukraine.
Ukraine alleges that Russian forces are forcibly relocating people from occupied territories to Russia or pro-Russian rebel territories.
However, Russia is of the opinion that all Ukrainian residents’ migration to Russia is a voluntary choice.
