What is known about the abduction of children from the occupied territories of Ukraine by Russia
In 2023, the Online.UA team presented the documentary Crippled Childhood, which reveals the truth about Russia's abduction of Ukrainian children from the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.
The film contains real stories of children and their families affected by Russia's war against Ukraine, as well as comments from leading scientists, psychologists, lawyers and experts on child protection.
The film's protagonists went through Russian captivity, torture, abduction to a health camp, and some were separated from their parents during the so-called filtration measures.
