700,000 Ukrainian Children Transferred to Russia Since Invasion

An “overwhelming majority” of the 700,000 Ukrainian children arrived in Russia with their parents or relatives, the Russian children’s rights commissioner Maria Lvova-Belova said without offering further details. A UN-backed investigation has determined that Russia’s forced transfer and deportation of Ukrainian children to Russian-controlled territories amounts to a war crime. Lvova-Belova and President Vladimir Putin are under an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant for the “unlawful deportation” of Ukrainian children.
