~Russia illegally detains 25,000 Kremlin prisoners
According to the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights, Dmytro Lubinets, this is the number of civilians abducted by the Russian Federation.
The ZMINA Human Rights Centre has found that at least 21 prisoners require urgent medical care and may die unless they receive it.
During the full-scale invasion, the National Police began investigating the enforced disappearance of 8,800 people. Russian Children's Ombudsman Maria Lvova-Belova claims Russia has illegally abducted over 700,000 children from Ukraine.

Russians transfer Deputy Chairman of the Mejlis Nariman Dzhelial to Minusinsk in Russia
The illegally convicted First Deputy Chairman of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people was transferred to the Krasnoyarsk Krai in Russia.
Crimean Solidarity reports citing his wife, Leviza Dzhelial.
The prisoner was transferred with illegally convicted Aziz and Asan Akhtemovs.
Dzhelial's wife received a letter from the Supreme Court of Crimea responding to the cassation appeal of her husband and Asan Akhtemov. The address is Minusinsk, so Dzhelial is likely being held there.
"There is no news from Nariman. There's no information about his whereabouts, city or condition. Most likely, the guys are kept in special blocks where they are not allowed to make phone calls," — the prisoner's wife noted.
It will be recalled that the Russians illegally detained Dzhelial and the Akhmetov brothers in September 2021. They were accused of alleged sabotage. A year later, the so-called 'court' sentenced Dzhelial to 17 years in a maximum security colony, and Asan and Aziz Akhtemovs were sentenced to 15 and 13 years, respectively.

Russians are illegally detaining Yaroslav Zhuk in a detention centre in Rostov-on-Don. The temperature in the cell is below six degrees. There is no glass in the window.
ZMINA reports citing his wife, Maryna Zhuk, as saying this.
Detainees in the pre-trial facility do not receive medical care. They have no right to receive medicines without an examination.
"Yaroslav's teeth have fallen out. He's afraid to go to the dentist because of the unsanitary conditions," said Maryna Zhuk.
The prisoner's lawyer will file a complaint about Zhuk's inadequate detention conditions.
On June 17, 2022, an explosion occurred near the Melitopol Industrial and Economic College. The Russians detained Yaroslav Zhuk, who was passing by. After that, the security forces tortured the man and forced him to defame himself.
It will be recalled that a Russian court extended Yaroslav Zhuk's detention for another three months.
