The issue of enforced disappearances has gained new significance for Ukraine due to the ongoing armed conflict on its territory. Starting in 2014, with the occupation of the Crimean peninsula and the armed conflict within certain districts in Donetsk and Luhansk regions, Ukrainian law enforcement agencies recorded cases of disappearances and detentions of persons in the territory controlled by the Russian Federation. Similar cases continue to be documented after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation. In fact, anyone can become a victim of enforced disappearance in the context of an armed conflict.
