Russian authorities have been accused of deporting Ukrainian children to Russia to raise them as their own. Thousands of children were seized from schools and orphanages in Ukraine by Russian authorities, according to researchers at Yale University.A view of the courtyard of Kherson regional children's home in Kherson, southern Ukraine, Friday, Nov. 25, 2022.
"All of this strikes us as a carefully orchestrated performance," says Caitlin Howarth, director of operations at the Yale lab. "These first transports of children in early February 2022 included a group of 500 purported orphans 'evacuated' from Donetsk Oblast by Russia. The reason given publicly at the time was the supposed threat of an offensive by the Ukrainian armed forces," according to the report. Some of those Ukrainian children were later adopted by Russian families.The Ukrainian government and U.N.
There are about 20 researchers who scour social media posts, news reports, government announcements and Russian messaging services, looking for patterns and connections that otherwise might go unnoticed. The Yale report has verified that 37 Ukrainian children have been returned to their families, says Nathaniel Raymond. The thousands who remain in Russia may constitute a war crime, he says.
Since March 2022. “New”.
These kidnapped Ukrainian children are being subjected to indoctrination and forced adoption. Do you care enough to update your reporting, NPR? Russian ‘re-education camps’ hold thousands of Ukrainian kids, per report
Uh, no. Genocide requires you to actually kill people. Kidnapping someone doesn’t fit that definition.
Bindlestaff It is a war crime and an act of genocide. Why are you framing it as 'they *say*?
I'm beginning to think that there is a double standard here!
you mean, Russia is KIDNAPPING Ukrainian children? Russia has no ability to deport anyone out of Ukraine
They are taking kids and Ukranians to internment camps and we aren't doing anything about it. Sad.
War crimes
Actual story includes: 43 camps spread hundreds of thru Russia 6000 children taken, toddlers to teens The removal began before Russia's invasion Re-education and indoctrination centers Russian law changes to streamline adoption of Ukrainian children Propaganda machine for cover
10-11 months later... You are supposed to be journalists right?
Y’all are THIRSTY for 🇷🇺 So funny. Talk about manufacturing a crisis
Deporting what the fuck
It’s a war crime, full stop. Not just because investigators say it is. Why make it sound less awful than it is?
Come on, . Y'all aren't CNN, your only responsibility is to the truth. It's not editorializing to just say that this is a war crime. Because it is, by definition, genocide.
Look it up . This isn’t a question or up for debate, it’s a textbook case of genocide.
That’s not “deporting.” That’s literally committing genocide, FFS. 🤦🏻♀️
Even Yale used the correct legal term: forcible transfer of children.
You can’t “deport” somebody from a country that isn’t yours. It’s called kidnapping. This headline is a disaster.
This is genocide per the Geneva Convention, get your shit together
This war is about to get more severe. A Russian offensive is imminent. A negotiated settlement is the only sensible option.
Very Republican of them- as a deterrence a la GOP?
“Investigators say that’s a war crime.” …is Charles Koch paying you to sugarcoat and demean it like that? IT *IS* a war crime, whether investigators are saying so or not. Kindly get with the program, NPR.
All the people complaining about the word choice of 'deport': that is also how the removal of people by the Nazis to its concentration and death camps. Stop trying to redeem a word because your country uses it for getting rid of the people you want it to.
It’s not deporting. And it is a war crime.
another Yale professor? or is it the same who suggested Japanese elders to kill themself? 😡
Was the same in WW2…France…
nprworld It is wrong and the world should not be silent! I hope and pray that those children grow into the men & women of Ukraine and destroy the Putin government from the inside! Just like Trump and Melania & the GOP have tried to do to us…
So they're murdering the adults and stealing their orphaned children. Wtaf?
You can’t deport someone’s heart or mind no matter where you send them physically.
Deported? How about 'Kidnapped!'
Remember when Republicans did the same thing in the border camps? I bet Russia gives these kids blankets at least
Russia's birth rate is so low and Putin has thrown loads of money at the problem. He needs Ukrainians to boost Russian numbers. This is just more proof of that.
Even by NPR “but maybe NATO are the real aggressors” standards, the word choice of “deport” is pretty dismal
That isn’t deporting! It’s kidnapping! And hell yes it’s a war crime. RussianWarCrimes
Russia is deporting people in to Russia?
Kidnapping*
Deport is the exact wrong word for what Russia is doing
Wouldn’t this technically be kidnapping?
But will anyone be held accountable
