Everyone involved in the deportation and forced displacement of Ukrainian children must be made known to the world and brought to justice. These include decision-makers, leaders of paramilitary and patriotic youth organisations, camps and educational programmes that "re-educate" children, and employees of russian educational and cultural institutions who carry out indoctrination.
Illegal deportation and forced displacement of children are war crimes, and their forced transfer to russian citizenship, change of personal status (name, date and place of birth, information about parents, etc.) and "re-education" are part of the cultural genocide of Ukrainians committed by the enemy.
At least 20,000 Ukrainian children have been abducted by russia from the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. And these are only the known cases: russia does not provide information about deported children not only to Ukraine but also to international organisations, blocks humanitarian access to the occupied territories and places of detention, making it impossible to record crimes. Children are prevented from returning. They are hidden and moved deeper into russia. Every day, they continue to be deported, separated from their families in the occupation and subjected to programmes and policies that destroy Ukrainian national identity.
Use the Portal`s data to open and conduct investigations as soon as possible and bring the perpetrators to justice. Boycott the aggressor`s educational and cultural communities that are complicit in cultural genocide.
Be the voice of the abducted Ukrainian children, tell about them at every opportunity - this way you will help to save them and bring them back home.
