According to Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby, the US Department of Defense has “seen signs” that Russians are transporting Ukrainians into Russia “against their will.”

When challenged about the Ukrainian government’s claims that 1.2 million Ukrainians had been deported to Russia and are being kept in detention centers, Kirby responded “we certainly have seen indications that Ukrainians are being moved from Ukraine into Russia.”

Kirby could not speak to the total number of Ukrainians moved, how many camps there are or what they look like, but said, “we do have indications that Ukrainians are being taken against their will into Russia.

Kirby called the action “unconscionable,” and “not the behavior of a responsible power.”
