How Moscow grabs Ukrainian kids and makes them Russians

Associated Press  

Olga Lopatkina paced around her basement in circles like a trapped animal. Lopatkina told the AP on Friday, “Everyone must be punished for their crimes.” ___ Russia’s open effort to adopt Ukrainian children and bring them up as Russian is already well underway, in one of the most explosive issues of the war, an Associated Press investigation shows. Ukraine’s government acknowledged to the U.N. before the war that most children of the state “are not orphans, have no serious illness or disease and are in an institution because their families are in difficult circumstances.” Nevertheless, Russia portrays its adoption of Ukrainian children as an act of generosity that gives new homes and medical resources to helpless minors. Her office referred the AP to her reply in a state-owned news agency that Russia was “helping children to preserve their right to live under a peaceful sky and be happy.” In August, a post from a senior official at the Moscow Department of Labor and Social Protection thanking the Russian foster families declared: “Our Children.Now they are ours.” Timofey, right, touches Sasha’s head in Loue, western France, Saturday, July 2, 2022. “We cannot ask the Russian Federation to return the children because we don’t know who they should return,” said Rashevska, with the Ukrainian organization Regional Central for Human Rights.
