russians have already forcibly moved 121,000 Ukrainian children
According to various sources, the russian occupiers have already forcibly moved 121,000 Ukrainian children. These are orphans and those who have parents.
This was announced on Facebook by the Commissioner for Human Rights Liudmyla Denisova.
"It is currently known that some of the children were taken by the occupiers from Mariupol to Donetsk and in the direction of Taganrog. Russian invaders say they are orphans, but all orphans and orphanages were evacuated from Mariupol centrally on February 24-25, on the first days of the war," she said.
If we're talking about orphans from other settlements, given that the Russian Duma, on behalf of putin, is preparing to amend the legislation on the accelerated procedure for the adoption of children from Donbas, changing the family for a child will not be impossible.
"Ukraine has no information that the children to be adopted have the status of orphans or deprived of parental care. russia is repeating the scenario of 2014 when it deported Ukrainian children from the occupied Crimea by the so-called train of hope for their adoption," she said.
Denisova noted that for the illegal abduction of children from the Crimean peninsula, Russia was expelled from the European Network of Ombudsmen for Children's Rights. She appealed to the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child, the UN Human Rights Committee, and the Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI) to intervene to prevent the deportation of children and their subsequent illegal adoption.
