Europol and partners trace 45 forcibly transferred' Ukrainian children
"Europol stated that investigators traced 45 Ukrainian children who were forcibly transferred to Russia, Belarus, or occupied Ukrainian territory during the ongoing conflict, providing crucial information to Ukrainian authorities."
"Kyiv has identified 19,546 children forcibly taken from occupied Ukrainian regions since the full-scale invasion began in February 2022, with many children adopted by Russian nationals or held in re-education camps."
"A United Nations commission accused Moscow of committing crimes against humanity by forcibly deporting thousands of Ukrainian children to Russia, obstructing their return, and the ICC has issued arrest warrants for Russian officials."
Europol reported that 45 Ukrainian children were forcibly transferred to Russia, Belarus, or occupied territories during the Russia-Ukraine war. Information was shared with Ukrainian authorities to aid investigations. The data was gathered through open-source intelligence during a hackathon involving experts from multiple countries. Kyiv has identified over 19,500 children taken from occupied regions since February 2022. Some children have been adopted by Russian nationals or placed in re-education camps. The situation remains complex, with many children unaccounted for due to lost parental connections amid the conflict.
