European Commission and Poland launch initiative of search for Ukrainian children kidnapped by Russians

The European Commission and Poland have launched the initiative to search for Ukrainian children who were illegally deported from the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.

“It was estimated that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Russian forces have sent thousands of Ukrainian children to Russia. Kidnapping of Ukrainian children is a big social issue, tragedy and crime. This is why, in conjunction with Poland, we launch this initiative with the support of the UN agencies. Our goal is to unite the forces in order to collect evidence, find the kidnapped children and prosecute those responsible for these crimes,” Dana Spinant, spokesperson of the European Commission, informed.
