Russia says it’s rehoming Ukrainian “orphans.” Also Russia: –Transfers children without tracing families –Withholds records needed to find them –Labels them “orphans” to enable illegal adoptions A child is not an orphan just because you erased their history. #BringKidsBack

Russia says the issue of deported Ukrainian children is part of a political campaign against it. Also Russia: -Dismisses evidence of systematic transfers from credible sources -Faces international arrest warrants over child deportations Children are not pawns. #BringKidsBack

Russia calls it a “temporary evacuation” of Ukrainian children for their safety. Also Russia: –Sends Ukrainian children to re-education camps -Imposes Russian citizenship -Facilitates illegal adoptions This is not temporary. It is unlawful. #BringKidsBack
