Ukrainian troops in Russia’s Kursk Region are abducting civilians and imprisoning them in Nazi-style concentration camps, Moscow’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, has said.
Speaking at the Eurasian Women’s Forum 2024 (EAWF) on Friday, Zakharova drew parallels between the atrocities committed by Nazi Germany against the Soviet Union during World War II and the actions of Ukrainian troops during the cross-border incursion launched last month.
Russian law enforcement agencies continue to collect data on cases in which Ukrainian nationalists “forcibly took to Ukraine residents of Kursk Region who did not have time to evacuate,” Zakharova stated.
According to Zakharova, the Russian Red Cross has collected numerous eyewitness accounts of the abductions in Kursk.
“In fact, there is evidence that Ukrainian fighters are creating a kind of concentration camps in the Russian border area, where they are placing at gunpoint local residents who, for various reasons, have been unable to leave unsafe areas,” she claimed.

Russia is establishing concentration camps in occupied territories in Ukraine where selections, or filtrations, are made. Torture and imprisonment, deportation or death are potential outcomes from the filtration process.
