A Deafening Silence: Ukrainians Held Incommunicado, Forcibly Disappeared and Tortured In Russian Captivity

March 3, 2025

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - FEBRUARY 24: Ambassador Dorothy Camille Shea, Chargé d’Affaires ad interim of the United States, raises her hand to vote during a United Nations Security Council meeting on maintenance of peace and security of Ukraine at the United Nations headquarters on February 24, 2025 in New York City. The General Assembly continued it's eleventh emergency special session and voted to pass an annual resolution condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The Trump administration wants more general language in the U.N. resolutions, while the wider body is in favor of language that more specifically places the responsibility for the war in Ukraine on Russia. The vote comes on the three-year anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. (Photo by Michael M. Santiago/Getty Images)
