Russia has reopened camps, set up in various parts of the country since the Soviet Union times, to house forcibly deported Ukrainians.

 

Russia deported 65,000 Ukrainian citizens from Mariupol alone to these camps, including children and the elderly.

 

In Russia's far eastern maritime region, which is closer to Tokyo than to Moscow, a local newspaper reported in late April that 300 people, including 86 children, pregnant women and retirees, arrived in Vladyvostok, after a tiring seven-day trip on the Trans-Siberian Express.  

 

The newcomers, including those, who survived the siege of Mariupol, were taken to the "Vostok" hotel complex on the coast, near Nakhodka.

 

While russian media claimed that Ukrainians had “chosen” to live in the russian Far East, adding that “almost everyone enjoys the beauty of the sea”, an adviser to the mayor of Mariupol said that Ukrainians have neither documents nor money, and they are promised only low-paid jobs on the edge of the world.
