Ukrainian children are taken to special camps in the Russian Federation, where they are exposed to propaganda and are often not returned home to official guardians at all. There was a plan for 2,500 children from each occupied region of Ukraine.
Russian invaders en masse take children from TOT of Ukraine "for rehabilitation"
The Russian invaders continue mass deportations of minors from the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine. Last fall alone, the Russians took 10,000 Ukrainian children to "rehabilitate".
The National Resistance Center (NRC) reported this on Telegram.
Children are taken to children's camps, where they are exposed to propaganda and are often not returned home to official guardians at all. There was a plan for 2,500 children from each region, the report says.
The NRC notes that referrals for "rehabilitation" are issued by doctors imported from the Russian Federation.
Thus, the NRC cited a striking case, the victim of which was a 12-year-old Ukrainian child. She and other minors were returning from "rehabilitation" on the Tyumen-Adler train.
All children were transported in terrible conditions, and before that they were vaccinated with a Russian "quality" flu vaccine. As a result, more than 100 children were admitted to the hospital, the NRC emphasiSes, noting the inevitable punishment of all those involved in the deportation of Ukrainian children.
A 12-year-old child from Ukraine died in a Russian train
It will be recalled that a 12-year-old girl from Ukraine died in the Russian city of Tyumen. The occupiers sent her there for "rest" in a children's camp.
The girl and other children were returning to the occupied Luhansk region from Tyumen by train. She allegedly went there for recovery. However, the girl became ill on the train on the way home. It is known that a 12-year-old girl from Luhansk lost consciousness on the train — the doctors could not save her.
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 film "Abducted Childhood", 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.
