In the draft resolution, after paragraph 2, insert the following paragraph:

"Furthermore, the Russian Federation pursues a Russification policy towards numerous indigenous peoples in the country, progressively erasing their cultural identities by restricting the use of their languages, especially in the education system, reducing the domains of their cultural expressions, distorting their history and depriving them of their historical memory, as well as by capturing and prosecuting ethnic minority activists."
