The founder of NGO Save Ukraine, Mykola Kuleba, said that the Russian occupiers abduct children from the occupied territories of Ukraine to make money from them, in particular by selling their organs.
Why does Russia abduct Ukrainian children?
Kuleba said that that we can see on social media today Russians openly express themselves, and not only on social media but even on Russian television, politicians say that Ukrainians deserve to be killed.
Therefore, against this background, I do not even doubt that there are certain organisations and groups in Russia that do business by selling organs. I can't tell you about blood transfusions. We have no confirmed facts, he said.
The founder of the Save Ukraine initiative emphasised that most of the crimes would be known only after the end of the war.
After I saw what happened in Bucha, in Irpin, I don't even have any doubt that today in the occupied territories, our military, children, our families can be used to conduct any kind of research. And it is not only about blood, but also organs and so on. For Russians, it's just business, he said.
Kuleba gave the example of the Russian politician Sergei Mironov, who is connected with the abduction of children.
Imagine, the wife of Mironov (Russian politician Sergey Mironov — ed.), in fact, the leader of Putin's party, for whom she is already the fourth wife, and he is, in his turn, is her fifth husband, goes to the Kherson region and steals children. They will take a Ukrainian child from an orphanage, and today in Moscow this Ukrainian child, already having Russian citizenship and a different surname, is brought up in this family. What is it for this family? This is a trophy for me. It's just that he, you know, like a weapon or a piece of something, took this child for himself. What is the purpose? I do not understand the motivation of this person, other than this, he said.
Mykola Kuleba also said that Russians simply "trophy" children.
Look, I have a trophy, I am growing it. It's not with love, you know? Okay, saving, but who? As an object of what? It cannot be motivated by love. It is motivated by hate. Even if he says "I save from the Nazis", what is that? Because for me, adopting a child is an act of love. In order to make this child happy in my family. Without any political or other overtones, he added.
And here this child is being taken away from Ukraine as a trophy. Yes, to save her, but it's a trophy. That is, in the same way that Putin pats Maria Lvova-Belova (authorised by the President of the Russian Federation on children's rights - ed.), a criminal, and says that she is well done. Because she took one more child stolen from Mariupol into her family, and distributed the others among the families of her acquaintances, Kuleba noted.
