The Russians abducted Ukrainian children allegedly for "rehabilitation" in a camp in Tyumen. The girl lost consciousness on the train — they could not save her.
What is known about the death of the girl
As the head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration (RMA), Artem Lysogor, reported, a 12-year-old girl from the temporarily occupied territory of the Luhansk region died after "recovering" in Tyumen, Russia.
According to RMA, the children are in a hospital in the Saratov region. More than 30 out of 125 children have elevated body temperature.
All of them are examined, tests are carried out, and an attempt is made to establish a diagnosis. Luhansk schoolchildren are isolated from others.
According to Lysohor, the 12-year-old girl lost consciousness on the train. The paramedics could not save her.
The local authorities assure that they will organize a "hot line" with parents. But there is no connection with many of them due to the lack of mobile coverage in a number of cities and villages of the so-called "LPR", the administration chief notes.
Lysogor clarifies that these children were returning from Tyumen, whom Russia kidnapped for "rehabilitation".
Not in the summer, not to the Krasnodar Territory, for example, but to Tyumen in December. In an ordinary children's camp. Just like recently schoolchildren from Severodonetsk traveled to the frosty Perm region, the post says.
What is known about the abduction of Ukrainian children
For Children's Day in 2023, the Online.UA team presented the documentary project "Abducted Childhood", which tells the story of Ukrainian children forcibly deported and abducted to Russia.
In the "Abducted Childhood" film, children and their parents openly share their own stories: some of them were in captivity, some were forcibly taken to a "rehabilitation camp", and some were separated from their parents during the so-called filtering measures.
It is essential to understand that during more than a year and a half of full-scale war, Ukraine was able to return less than 400 children. At the same time, Russia claims to have "evacuated" 744,000 Ukrainian children.
Since diplomacy with the aggressor country does not work, Russia continues to remove children from the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine illegally.
However, this is not an evacuation, as the Russians claim, but a mass kidnapping of minor citizens of Ukraine.
The project documents children's testimonies about war crimes committed by the Russian Federation against the Ukrainian people.
