Seminar on Russia’a Occupation Policy

On 26 May, 2025, the Programme for Ukraine and Full-Spectrum Threats held its opening event in collaboration with UKRAINETT. Russia’s occupation policy is a topic often underreported in the media, and the event brought together a group of experts to shed light on different aspects of the Russian occupation regimes. The seminar focused on how Russia, across various domains, exercises control over the Ukrainian population in the occupied territories — and how Ukrainians resist and fight back. We heard from (programme with time stamps below): Karolina Hird, Russia Team Deputy Lead and Analyst at the Institute for the Study of War Jaroslava Barbieri, Doctoral Research Fellow at the University of Birmingham Illia Riepin, Political Scientist and Columnist in Political Philosophy & AI. Riepin is currently working with Dr. Jade McGlynn on a comprehensive report on Ukrainian resistance movements in occupied territories. Barbieri gave an overview of developments within the political, economic, cultural, and military domains of the occupation policy, using the example of how Ukrainians are forced to acquire Russian citizenship to access basic things such as healthcare. Riepin highlighted how Russia’s strategy includes both political and informational isolation, and how people in the occupied territories have responded with both violent and non-violent forms of resistance. Hird focused in her presentation on how Russia systematically deports Ukrainian children — and the consequences of this practice. Håvard Bækken from Norwegian Institute for Defence Studies led the panel discussion.
