Abduction of Ukrainian children by Russia

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Russia has been regularly deporting Ukrainian children to Crimea, Belarus, or remote regions of Russia.

The International Criminal Court in The Hague has issued an arrest warrant for the dictator Vladimir Putin and the Commissioner for Children's Rights in the Russian Federation, Maria Lvov-Belova, due to the illegal deportation of Ukrainian children.

Recently, at the second plenary meeting of the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children abducted and illegally deported by the Russian invaders, Ukraine presented concrete projects regarding work on their return and reintegration.
