According to Ukraine's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Sergiy Kylystya, more than 500 thousand Ukrainians, including more than 121 thousand children, have been forcibly transferred to Russia.
One of the countries where Ukrainians have been sent is the isolated industrial island of Sakhalin in the remote territory of eastern Russia, similar to the island of Schutter Island.
Known for its harsh winters and unsuitable terrain, the island is practically confined to Ukrainians, who have more access to documents that make it impossible for them to leave the island for two years.
Despite being Russia's largest island, Sakhalin has a population of only 127 thousand people, most of whom are employed as fishermen or in the island's energy - producing sector.
The island's population is said to be very military and proud of Russia's military history, forcing the island's occupational roots in World War II.
The island is extremely difficult to live with and is one of Russia's coldest regions with temperatures that don't go more than zero degrees throughout winter.
Once Ukrainians arrive on the island, Putin is thought to be aiming for their employment and assimilation by becoming Russian citizens.
