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.

Abduction perpetrators
As the press secretary of the Autonomous Non-Profit Organization for Social Adaptation "Quarter Louis," she participated in a working group meeting with the leaders of the so-called "DPR" in August 2022 and is responsible for implementing the "Children in Hands" campaign. This campaign, initiated by the Commissioner for Children's Rights under the president of russia, establishes so-called "headquarters" in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine to promote messages about the "peacekeeping and humane" goals of russia in these territories of Ukraine, aimed at concealing the mass deportation and genocide of Ukrainians.

The organization "Quarter Louis" is effectively controlled by the unsanctioned individual Maria Lvova-Belova (sister of Sofia Lvova-Belova). Additionally, the organization is linked to the party project "United russia," which emerged in 2013 on the initiative of United russia member Sergey Neverov and was called "Every Child Matters to russia." According to official data, "Quarter Louis" exists solely on russian government grants and charitable donations.

In November 2023, Maria Lvova-Belova, the Commissioner for Children's Rights under the president of russia, and her sister Sofia forcibly evacuated four residents of a boarding house for people with disabilities from the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine against their will. The children were taken from the temporarily occupied part of the Kherson region to Penza, where since 2018, the charitable organization of Lvova-Belova, "Quarter Louis," has been building the "New Shores" quarter. The construction of this quarter was carried out using budget funds and funds from russian oligarchs such as Roman Abramovich, Vladimir Potanin, the funds of Konstantin Malofeev, and Gennady Timchenko.

Additionally, the organization is linked to the party project 'United russia,' which was launched in 2013 by Sergei Neverov and was called 'russia Cares About Every Child.' According to official data, 'Quarter Louis' exists solely on state grants from russia and charitable donations.

In November 2023, the Commissioner for Children's Rights, Maria Lvova-Belova, and her sister Sofia forcibly removed four residents from a group home for people with developmental disabilities from temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine against their will.
