During a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, one of the participants, Olga Dorokhina, openly confessed to the abduction of a Ukrainian child.
This was reported by Bild.
The Russian woman said that during a so-called "humanitarian trip" to the Kherson region, she "found her daughter," a four-year-old girl who is now being held in her family's care. Putin reacted to this story with a smile and did not ask if the child had a family.
This story looked like an attempt to present the crime as a charitable act, but in fact it was a confession to a war crime - the illegal deportation of Ukrainian children. According to the Ukrainian authorities, about 20,000 children were forcibly taken to Russia. Some of them lost their parents during the bombing, while others were sent to Russian "rest camps" and never returned.
Due to these crimes, the International Criminal Court in The Hague issued an arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin and the Russian Presidential Commissioner for Children's Rights Maria Lvova-Belova, who personally supervised the deportation process and even adopted a boy from Mariupol.
Intent has already written that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Russia, 229 children have suffered in Kherson region. Of these, 39 were killed and 190 received injuries of varying severity. This happened due to numerous war crimes recorded by the law enforcement agencies of Ukraine. In total, more than a thousand criminal proceedings have been registered, of which 294 relate to crimes directly against children.
Meanwhile, prosecutors have submitted to court a case against two Russian citizens suspected of illegally deporting Ukrainian children. The defendants are a member of the State Duma, a confidant of the leader of the A Just Russia party, and the wife of this politician.
The SBU also served in absentia a notice of suspicion to the heads of the occupation "Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation" in Crimea, Konstantin Skorupsky and his deputy Anton Lyaskovsky, over the abduction of 46 Ukrainian children during the temporary occupation of Kherson.
