Dinara Khalilova - The Forced Deportation and Filtration of Ukrainians from the Occupied Territories

Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians have had to evacuate through Russia
or were forcibly deported there. They have experienced terrible things
like the “filtration” camps on the borders, separation from families,
cruel interrogations by Russians, and being forced to live in another
country (enemy country) without money or documents in many cases. Left
stranded and struggling to leave Russia by themselves. Some, like
children do not even have the option to try to return home or go to
Europe.

Dinara Khalilova is a Ukrainian journalist and media communications
specialist, who has been reporting on aspects of the conflict in 2022.
Dinara has a Masters’ degree from the UK, which gives her a unique
Ukrainian / British perspective on the conflict. She is expert at
creating articles and interviewing people, skills she used to support a
hard-hitting report created by Sky News on the Ukrainian families forced
to say goodbye to their homes and loved ones and flee. In some cases
people were deported to Russia, and it’s these tragic, harrowing issues
around, flight, deportation and filtration that we’ll be exploring in
today’s episode.
