Putin's plan to repopulate Ukraine with Russians and deport non-citizens.

Russia is conducting a "deliberate depopulation campaign" in occupied areas of Ukraine by resettling people mainly from poorer and remote regions of Russia. The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) reported that Russia is trying to facilitate the repopulation of Ukrainian territories with Russians, which could complicate conditions for the reintegration of these territories into Ukraine. The ISW had earlier assessed that depopulation and repopulation campaigns by Russia are a "deliberate ethnic cleansing effort" and a possible violation of the Geneva Convention.
