It was reported that the Russian occupation troops illegally brought to the territory of the Russian Federation 2389 children who were in the temporarily occupied areas of Donetsk and Lugansk regions. The Foreign Ministry said that the forced transfer of the civilian population to the territory of the aggressor state, in particular children, has signs of abduction. Such actions are a gross violation of international law, in particular international humanitarian law. By destroying houses and killing parents, the Russian Federation deprives Ukrainian children of parental care, exposing their lives to further danger in Russia.
