Russian occupation is not peace but a new battlefield, Kyiv asserts

A new Kyiv report claims that the occupation of Ukrainian territories by Russian forces is not peace, but a continuation of hostilities by other means, according to Kyiv Post.

According to the Ukrainian research, legal institutions and legislation in the occupied regions are being used as instruments of repression. The document cites an absence of rule of law and stability across these territories.

Kyiv categorically objects to any formulations that characterize the situation in the occupied areas as peaceful or stable.
