— We have new credible reports that Russian authorities are posting lists of kidnapped Ukrainian children on Russian adoption websites. This is disgusting and horrifying. These Ukrainian children should be with their families in Ukraine, — noted Jake Sullivan.
He believes that Russia is waging a war not only against the Ukrainian military, but also against the Ukrainian people.
US President Joe Biden has repeatedly stated that Russia is committing war crimes and crimes against humanity in Ukraine. Therefore, the United States will continue to support the Ukrainian people, the US presidential adviser emphasized.
Adoption of Ukrainian children in the Russian Federation
The British publication Financial Times conducted an investigation and found that the authorities posted information on Russian adoption websites about at least four Ukrainian children who were illegally taken out of Ukraine at the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion.
The Russians changed the names and ages of some of the children, and also concealed the fact that the children were Ukrainian.
The Financial Times suggests that these are children from orphanages in the occupied territories of the south and east Ukraine.
