What is known about the kidnapping of little Ukrainians by Russia
-
The abduction of children from the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine is one of many war crimes that Russia commits during the war. The exact number of young Ukrainians divorced from their families and taken to the Russian Federation is unknown, but preliminary estimates say that there are at least 16,000 of them. At the same time, the Russians themselves said that they “evacuated” more than 324,000 children. So far, only a few hundred have been recovered. The theft is clearly planned and occurs according to several scenarios.
-
Searching for and returning children from Russia is difficult, since the occupiers allow the child’s name to be completely changed during adoption, which complicates his search. Ukrainians encourage Russian families to adopt abducted people with money – they make money from it.
-
One of the components of the “re-education” of Ukrainian children in Russia is militarization and military training, starting from kindergartens.
-
For the abduction and deportation of children, the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Putin and his “commissioner for children's rights.”
