www.hrw.org
The war in Ukraine has had traumatic and devastating consequences for children in residential institutions, including forcible transfers to Russia and separation from their families.

The war in Ukraine has devastating consequences for children in residential institutions, Human Rights Watch says. In a 55-page report, the organization has documented Russia’s forcible transfer of Ukrainian children to Russia or Russian-occupied territory.

    So, if I’m not mistaken, according to the article…

    • Those children should not be institutionalized.
    • They are also in danger from the war.
    • But they were institutionalized in Ukraine, not Russia.
    • And Russia is bringing them away from the war.

    So, apparently, Russia should immediately return those children to the frontline, so they can either die or be evacuated somewhere else where they’ll remain institutionalized? Because evacuating orphans from a war zone and finding families for them is apparently “a war crime” (it isn’t btw, the Rome Statute doesn’t even come close to making that a war crime).
