Some of the children were moved through the system and adopted by Russian families, or moved into foster care in Russia, the report says.
WASHINGTON DC, USA – Russia has held at least 6,000 Ukrainian children – likely many more – in sites in Russian-held Crimea and Russia whose primary purpose appears to be political reeducation, according to a US-backed report published on Tuesday, February 14.
Some of the children were moved through the system and adopted by Russian families, or moved into foster care in Russia, the report said. “We do our best to keep underage people in families, and in cases of absence or death of parents and relatives – to transfer orphans under guardianship,” the embassy said on the Telegram messaging platform.
The report was the latest produced by the Yale University School of Public Health’s Humanitarian Research Lab as part of a State Department-backed project that has examined human rights violations and war crimes allegedly committed by Russia. Ukrainian prosecutors have said they are examining allegations of forced deportation of children as part of efforts to build a genocide indictment against Russia.
