These data highlight not only the tragedy of Ukrainian families, but also the criminal nature of the Russian regime.
Figures that are amazing: 19.5 thousand or 700 thousand?
Ukraine has officially confirmed the abduction of 19.5 thousand children with the help of state institutions. These figures are based on documentary data, where each child is assigned a first name, surname and the region of his residence is indicated.
However, the Russian Ombudsman stated that there are 700 thousand Ukrainian children in Russia.
“They are even proud of it, that they steal children,” — Vladimir Zelensky noted in an interview with CBN.
Why are children being targeted by Russia?
Kidnapping children from occupied territories is part of a Russian strategy that is reminiscent of Nazi Germany:
Russification of Ukrainian children: forcibly changing their identity.
Propaganda: Russia is trying to present these actions as “humanitarian aid.”
Political pressure: a show of force and an attempt to deprive Ukraine of its future.
“This is what Russia is today. They are proud that they stole children. This is a tragedy that shows their essence,” – added the President of Ukraine.
