American billionaire and member of the US President's team Elon Musk continues to make massive cuts to US government funding. As a result, the work of the Yale University team that helped rescue hundreds of Ukrainian children abducted by Russia was suspended.
Points of attention
- Nearly 20,000 children have been abducted by Russia since the 2022 invasion, leading to an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court for Russian individuals involved in the crime.
- The work of the Humanities Research Laboratory at Yale University, using open-source technology, was instrumental in tracking and rescuing Ukrainian children until Musk's funding cuts.
Musk continues to undermine US policy and support for Ukraine
What is important to understand is that before the billionaire's direct intervention, the US government was actively funding a group of researchers from the Humanities Research Laboratory at Yale University.
It was she who used open-source technology to track children abducted by Russia and shared her findings with Ukrainian authorities to help return them home.
Such successful cooperation has led to the return of hundreds of minor Ukrainians to their homeland — to their families.
However, this work will now be halted amid Elon Musk's recent federal funding cuts.
The Ukrainian government claims that nearly 20,000 children have been abducted by Russia since the invasion in 2022.
What is important to understand is that it was for this crime that the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant in 2023 for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and the Russian Commissioner for Children's Affairs, Maria Lvova-Belova.
