Unseen Ukraine is a series of short-form reports focusing on aspects of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine that merit more attention. This initiative highlights destructive processes perpetrated by Russia against Ukraine that are aimed at discriminating against and subordinating the Ukrainian people. They form part of the Kremlin’s broader genocidal campaign against the Ukrainian nation. The goal of this series is to put into focus seemingly unconnected acts of violence that together form a pattern proving Russia’s intent to destroy Ukraine.


Our first series examines conflict-related sexual violence in Ukraine.
