Russia ‘forcing Ukraine children into re-education and arms production’: Report

Tens of thousands of Ukrainian children abducted by Russian forces face reeducation and militarization in over 200 facilities, with 20% receiving combat training, a U.S. report states.

  • The Yale Humanitarian Research Lab on Tuesday said Russian forces have deported Ukrainian children to over 200 facilities for reeducation and military training, holding tens of thousands long-term.
  • Evidence indicates Russian leadership authorized Vladimir Putin, President of Russia, to systematically kidnap Ukrainian children and use re-education and Russification programs to make them speak Russian and learn a Russian history.
  • The analysis shows 210 locations across over 50 regions and more than 3,500 miles, classified into eight facility types, with re-education occurring at at least 130 sites.
  • Ukraine's Bring Kids Back program reports nearly 20,000 unlawful deportations, over 1,600 returned, and the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Vladimir Putin and Maria Lvova-Belova in March 2023.
  • The study, initiated at Ukraine's request, says bringing children home depends on `absolute total global unity` and will be discussed at the U.N. later this month.
