Summary
A U.S.-backed Yale report alleges that Russia used presidential aircraft and state funds to deport 314 Ukrainian children from occupied territories, stripping them of their Ukrainian identity and placing many with Russian families.
The program, described as a Kremlin-led effort to “Russify” children, reportedly involved propaganda and coerced adoptions.
These actions may constitute crimes against humanity, beyond the war crimes charges already issued by the International Criminal Court against Putin.
Ukraine estimates 19,500 children have been taken, though Russia denies coercion and disputes Kyiv’s numbers.
Such a weird thing to do to pre-emptively defend against NATO expansion or whatever the excuse is
