The Trump administration's termination of a U.S.-funded initiative aimed at documenting alleged Russian war crimes is raising concerns among U.S. lawmakers. This initiative, led by Yale University's Humanitarian Research Lab, included a database on the mass deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia. The termination has barred crucial evidence transmission to prosecutors, including the International Criminal Court. Lawmakers fear that vital data related to the identities and locations of approximately 35,000 children may have been permanently deleted, significantly hindering efforts to locate missing children and pursue accountability for these actions.
This vital resource cannot be lost, as losing the data would severely impact efforts to document war crimes and locate the deported Ukrainian children.
We have reason to believe that the data from the repository has been permanently deleted, which could have devastating consequences for accountability and justice.
