700,000 Ukrainian Children Transferred to Russia Since Invasion - Feddit

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.

“Transferred”. Kidnapped, the word is kidnapped. They are not premier league football players.

Yeah, and the vast majority are refugees fleeing the war, willingly to Russia (almost like there's a civil war going on??). It's like saying Poland has kidnapped a million Ukrainian children, that's the equivalent drivel here.

Russia invaded Ukraine. If you’re trying to paint this as a civil war, I request the mods to ban this account immediately.

Russia intervened in the Ukrainian civil war with the recognition of the two breakaway republics. But my point with the civil war comment was that Ukraine has millions of people who are siding with Russia and will escape the war by going to Russia (and bringing their kids with them).

Ah yes, the notorious breakaway republics, which were organised and controlled by russian military forces all along.

Fresh Details on Russia’s Forcible Transfer of Ukrainian Children (May 2023)

The report [by tbe OSCE] noted that forcibly deported children were placed in an unfamiliar environment far removed from Ukrainian language, culture, customs, and religion. It also found that many such children were exposed to military training and “to pro-Russian information campaigns often amounting to targeted reeducation.”

The report also underscores how changes in Russian law enabled authorities to swiftly give Russian citizenship to Ukrainian children, facilitating their guardianship and adoption by Russian families in Russia, even though many of the children may have living relatives, including in Ukraine.

Russia deports thousands of Ukrainian children. Investigators say that’s a war crime (February 2023)

The report [by Yale Universty researchers] describes a system of holding [children] facilities that stretch from the Black Sea coast to Siberia. […]

Ukrainian officials say Russia has evacuated thousands of Ukrainian children without parental consent […]

The Ukrainian children transported to Russia range in age from teens to toddlers […]

“In some cases there is adoption, other cases summer camp programs where the kids were slated to return home and never did,” he says, “and in some cases they are re-education camps.”

Fresh Details on Russia’s Forcible Transfer of Ukrainian Children

The Russian authorities’ forced transfer and deportation of Ukrainian children has made headlines, and earlier this month, more details on these transfers came to light through the findings of an investigation by the Organization for Security and Co-Operation in Europe (OSCE).

Hopefully there’ll be some provision for any voluntary evacuees to return to Ukraine when that sovereign country has kicked the absolute shit out of the Russian bastards.

Anyone who identifies as and with Russia can stay there, everyone is happy.

Russia: Worried about ethnic minorities revolting, send everyone of them that can hold a gun to the front to get killed.

Also Russia: Let’s transfer 700,000 Ukrainians into Russia in a world of unblockable internet and DNA tests. Surely propaganda will make this safe.

It is a bad policy if your goal is governance.

But it hits a lot of Russia's tick marks - replenishes the other ethnic minorities they've gotten killed, meaning more to get killed in 20 years; rewards "good" families with kids; if even 10% of the kids begin to identify as Russian, they have ready made propaganda right there; and if some go hard the other way, they might commit some sort of crime, and Russia can use that as propaganda fuel too.

The thing about regressive pieces of shit is that they can spin anything to their advantage through a mixture of whataboutism, narcissistic lies, and rampant hypocrisy.
