Child abduction by Russia

• Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Russia has been actively removing Ukrainians children to their territory. There they are adopted and often even give false names in order to completely break ties with Ukraine.
• For example, the head of the party “A Just Russia – For Truth” Sergei Mironov adopted a deported girl , taken from Kherson during the occupation. Instead of Margarita Prokopenko, she became Marina Mironova. In the line about the place of birth, Podolsk is now indicated instead of Kherson.
• However, Ukraine is working on the return of its citizens – on November 19, Bogdan Ermokhin was returned. A guy from temporarily occupied Mariupol was kidnapped by the Russians. On the day he returned, he turned 18.
