In November 2023, the Russian authorities arrested a volunteer assisting refugees from Ukraine in the bordering Belgorod oblast in Russia. Volunteer groups fill an important gap, providing critical assistance for populations not covered by the Russian State or registered humanitarian organisations. These populations include the displaced people transiting through Russia after their refusal of the Russian passport deprived them of access to essential services in Russian-controlled areas in Ukraine.

Ukrainian prisoners of war may still be facing forceful conscription in Russia in 2023. Since 2014, as many as 40,000 people may have been forcefully conscripted. Ukrainian prisoners of war and civilian detainees face severe protection risks, including the widespread use of torture, while humanitarian access to them remains constrained.
