Missing Ukranian children located in Dutch coordinated effort

Dutch News  

The Dutch police, together with 23 other law enforcement agencies, used open-source information to locate eight missing Ukrainian children during an event coordinated by Europol. The European Union’s law enforcement coordination agency hosted the gathering in January at their headquarters in The Hague to look into the whereabouts of Ukrainian children who have been illegally taken out of the country since the Russian invasion. “Investigators from civil society and the police worked together to find online traces of Ukrainian children suspected to have been deported from occupied territories in Ukraine to the Russian Federation and Belarus,” Europol said in a statement. Last year, the International Criminal Court in The Hague issued a warrant for the arrest of Russian president Vladimir Putin and one of his deputies, alleging his involvement in ‘the war crime of unlawful deportation of children’ from occupied Ukraine.
