In an interview with online.ua, the Save Ukraine charitable organisation founder, Mykola Kuleba, told how the Kremlin russificates abducted Ukrainian children with hostile propaganda. In particular, they are sent for training and excursions to Moscow.
How the Russia russificates abducted Ukrainian children
According to Mykola Kuleba, In that total hostile propaganda and in that brainwashing, there are really cases that are simply shocking. Cases of violence, punishment of children, cruel treatment of them and even murder
Girls and boys are also offered to go to Moscow to study. Other children said that they were taken en masse to Moscow for several days. During these excursions, they took part in various events and conferences attended by Russian politicians and propagandists.
One girl said that she went to Moscow for four days. They lived in the suburbs of Moscow, woke up early in the morning, and went to the conference until late in the evening. Among the many politicians who came to give them lectures, she remembered the former president Medvedev and the propagandist Solovyov.
Imagine what these people, imbued with hostility towards Ukraine, can say to Ukrainian children! — Kuleba said.
What is known about the abduction of Ukrainian children
Watch the Online.UA documentary project "Abducted Childhood" about the abduction of Ukrainian children by 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.
