Ukrainian citizens are being abducted and sent to forced-labour camps in Russia, claims a Ukrainian MP. Inna Sovsun has said that information being shared throughout Mariupol is that thousands of her countrymen and women are being forced into slave labour.
Mariupol has been under heavy attack from Russian forces and much of the city has been completely destroyed by the siege. While the claims that thousands of Mariupol's residents are being abducted and sent to Russia is unverified, Ms Sovsun said that is the information being shared by the city's authorities.
Speaking to Times Radio, she said: “The very logic of Russia right now is the logic of the Soviet Union and the logic of Nazi Germany. It is a completely totalitarian state, and it is acting as one.
