Belarusian Paralympian Alexei Talai is involved in the regular abducting of Ukrainian children from the occupied territories of our country. Currently, he once again wants to take minors from the Kherson region to the Republic of Belarus.
Paralympian Talai wants to abduct Ukrainian children to Belarus
The Russian media reported that the activist of the Lukashenka regime, Alexei Talai, said that he planned to abduct children from the occupied Kherson region to Belarus.
Children from the Kherson Region have not had a vacation in Belarus yet, Talai said.
The report notes that in mid-September, almost 50 minors from Donbas came to Minsk who were promised a "rich" three-week program in Novopolotsk. At the end of October, Talay brought about 40 children from occupied Mariupol and Dokuchaievsk to Belarus "for rehabilitation".
It is worth noting that children from the occupied territories of Ukraine have been abducted to Belarus since 2016. The Foundation of Talai has been dealing with this issue recently.
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.
