Only 51 children were returned.
The occupiers illegally took 7 thousand Ukrainian children So far, only 51 have been returned. This was reported by the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights, Dmytro Lubinets.
According to him, volunteers are actually conducting special operations to rescue and return Ukrainian children.
According to our data, more than 7,000 Ukrainian children were illegally transported to the territory of the Russian Federation. Russia is doing everything to prevent our children from returning to us, even simplifying its adoption legislation. This is also a violation of international law and a vivid example of the fact that the Russian Federation is committing the genocide of the Ukrainian nation. Because the forced displacement of a group of the same nationality is a direct definition of genocide. We have a mechanism to return these children. So far, we have managed to return 51 children. This is a small number compared to the thousands of those deported, but we are practically conducting special operations to rescue them,” Lubinets said in an interview with “Voice of America”.
He reminded that Ukraine has created”Children of War” platform, thanks to which it is possible to establish the data of children who were deported to Russia.
