We note all the defendants in criminal cases with Ukrainian citizenship. In some cases, a Ukrainian passport in itself is grounds for persecution. Several Ukrainian public figures are defendants in criminal cases.

The data on defendants in anti-war criminal cases, persecuted for their speech, is updated regularly. If you notice a mistake in the text or want to tell us about someone, write to us at [email protected]. We are deeply grateful to the volunteers of OVD-Info who help us in gathering and translating this data.
