Lithuanian PM Ruginiene: The urgent case for returning Ukraine's children

Some moments in politics go beyond statistics and charts. What remains is the human story underneath it all. The fate of Ukraine's children is one of those moments. As a mother and as a representative of a nation that knows the cost of occupation, I cannot speak about deported, separated, and traumatized children in abstract terms. These are not numbers. These are sons and daughters taken from their homes, separated from their families, stripped of their identity, and placed into systems design
