The United States denounces that Russia transfers Ukrainian children to their country to be adopted

Russian authorities have transferred more than 1,000 Ukrainian children to their country for adoption by Russian families, according to a report by the US Institute for War Studies (ISW).

The American private institution, whose experts analyze various factors of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, assures that it has had access to a publication of the Moscow Government, now eliminated, in which this program of adoption of Ukrainian minors is discussed.

The publication belongs, according to the ISW, to the children's administration services of the Russian region of Krasnodar, according to which the Russian authorities have transferred more than 1,000 minors from Mariúpol, in Ukraine, to cities in the neighboring country such as Tyumen, Irkutsk, Kemerovo, and Altay Krai, where Russian families adopted them.

Mariupol, a port city on the Sea of ​​Azov, was taken by the Russians after a siege that lasted months and caused a serious humanitarian crisis in the area.

According to the Krasnodar administration, more than 300 children are still waiting "to meet their new families" in Russia, citing a group of experts, who states that citizens who decide to adopt these children will receive a single economic bonus from the state.

On the other hand and according to the ISW, the main directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine (GUR) reported that Russian officials transferred 30 children from the towns of Khartsyzk, Ilovaysk, and Zuhres, in the Ukrainian region of Donetsk, to the Russian city of Nizhny Novgorod under the pretext that children will participate in youth educational training programs.

The forcible transfer of children from one group to another "with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group" is a violation of the Convention on the Prevention of the Crime of Genocide, recalls the ISW.
