This statement was made by Barbara Woodward, the representative of Great Britain at the UN, Ukrinform reports.
“We are concerned, too, that Russia may in fact be using forced deportations and displacement in an attempt, forcibly, to change the demographic makeup of parts of Ukraine”, she said.
Woodward also condemned Russia's creation of filtration camps in the seized territories of Ukraine.
“We call on the Russian Federation to allow the UN and other relevant international organisations immediate, full and unhindered access to those held in filtration camps and detention centers”, the diplomat summarized.
