Ukrainian children were deported in almost 60 regions of the Russian Federation, including Sakhalin, - human rights activists

It will not be possible to identify Ukrainian children, already adopted by the Russians, "it is worth saying goodbye", said at the Regional Human Rights Center. During the full -scale war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, the Russians deported Ukrainian children in at least 57 regions of Russia. About 400 minors are adopted in the territory of the aggressor state.

A human rights activist, lawyer of the Regional Human Rights Center Kateryna Rashevskaya told this in an interview with Hromadske newspaper. "We know from open sources that Ukrainian children have been taken to at least 57 regions of Russia. According to the interlocutor, in cases where children are deported together with their parents, Russians try to avoid the accumulation of Ukrainians in one region, so they are "scattered" to integrate into Russian society.

At the same time, the Russian Federation does not allow human rights defenders to deported children, which violates the Geneva Convention, Rashevskaya said. The human rights activist noted that, according to the latest data, the Russians have adopted or adopted about 400 Ukrainian children. "Identify Ukrainian children after being transferred to Russian families will be unrealistic. And when we talk about these 400 Ukrainian children who are already in families, we should say goodbye to them.

Yes, we may be able to return them after graduation wars, "Rashevskaya added. According to a lawyer, two boys who have a grandmother in Ukraine live in the Moscow region at this time, and if they get used to being with Russian parents, "they will become relatives for them. " "I do not know if these children will be removed and their return back to Ukraine to meet the interests (children). The Russians carry out genocide.

Whatever adopting, whether they take care, or temporary care," Rashevskaya said . . In June, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported that 307 423 children were deported from Ukraine. According to the US State Department, about 260,000 children were deported in July.

Until December 28, the Ukrainian authorities were able to confirm the deportation of 13 876 children - the exact number of victims could not be established due to active fighting and temporary occupation of part of the territory of Ukraine, in December forces of special operations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that the Russians had taken out at least 40 children from the captured Severodonetsk and Lisichansk to the Stavropol region of the Russian Federation.
