kyiv.Ukraine.Ukraine Gate – December 26,2021-The head of the human rights group in Crimea announced that the Ukrainian authorities should investigate the demographic situation in Crimea as the Kremlin is taking effective measures to change the population of the occupied peninsula.
“The strategic task of the Russian Federation is to change the composition of the population. In the sense of both physical and consciousness. For the most part, what we can capture is the movement of the militarized population. We are talking about the military, as well as law enforcement agencies. Moreover, since Russia formally considers it its territory, they no longer move as a business trip, but to a permanent job, that is, they move with their families. If we are talking about one ephesusnik, then we can actually multiply by three, because he, for example, comes with his wife and child, “Skrypnyk said.
She said that in Russia there is propaganda and direct advertising to move to the Crimea.
“An important trend in the background of all this is that it (Russia – ed.), In principle, is trying to destroy or oust the pro-Ukrainian population,” – said the human rights activist.
The head of the Crimean Human Rights Group emphasizes that the law on punishment for war crimes helps to investigate and fix the demographic situation in the occupied Crimea. It was adopted in the second reading, but has been without the President’s signature for six months.
The Law on Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine Concerning the Implementation of International Criminal and Humanitarian Law (№2689) was reportedly passed by parliament in May 2021, supported by 248 deputies, mostly members of the Servant of the People party. The author of the bill is the current Minister of Internal Affairs Denis Monastyrsky. In June 2021, the law was submitted to the President for signature, but it has not yet been signed or returned for revision.
