One of the difficulties in returning children deported by the occupiers to Ukraine is their adoption by citizens of the Russian Federation on the basis of the decree of the owner of the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin, to simplify the procedure, said Aksana Filippishina, a representative of the Commissioner of the Verkhovna Rada for the observance of the rights of the child and family.. In the article by Anatoly Bondarchuk and Alexander Klyuzhev “OKUPAN. Why Russia is forcibly resettling Ukrainian children, and how Ukraine is fighting it” it is also said that families forced to leave the occupied territories through Russia also face many problems..

What are the dangers of adoption? The fact that, as a result, the adoptive parent can change not just the name and surname of the child, he can even change the date of birth. And this means that it will be very difficult for us in the future to impersonate and identify our children.. And adoption is secret according to the laws of the Russian Federation. If the adopter keeps the secret of adoption, then it will be very difficult to find out where our child is,” said Filippishina..

Filippishina stressed that families deported or forced to leave the occupied territories through Russia face many problems trying to get out of there.. First of all, one of the problems is the information vacuum.. However, if such people manage to contact Ukrainian state structures via the Internet, they can be consulted..

Aksana Filippishina explained that various services operate in electronic format, for example, Malyatko and Esud. With the help of the first, for example, you can issue a birth certificate of a child, and with the help of the second, follow the progress of court cases to restore documents.

“Many appeals relate to the loss of documents for children and, accordingly, the inability to move further from the territory of Russia because of this.. For such cases, there are a number of ways to obtain a Ukrainian birth certificate for a child.. In particular, the Ukrainian Ombudsman can go to court to establish facts of legal significance, such as the birth of a child. And by a court decision, through third countries through diplomatic channels, the restored documents can be transferred to the family so that they can leave the territory of Russia in the future.. And there is already the first such case,” explained the representative of the Commissioner for Human Rights.

Another common problem is the lack of money for Ukrainians trying to leave the occupied territories.. After all, in order to get to third countries, it is often necessary to cross most of Russia from the place where the Ukrainians were resettled..

And, of course, we should talk about the absence or limited number of so-called "
