The UN has adopted a resolution on the Return of Ukrainian Children.
This became known from the official website.
The international community overwhelmingly supported the document, which condemns the illegal deportation of Ukrainian children and demands their immediate return, an end to forced adoptions and ideological indoctrination.
The resolution was supported by 91 countries, while 12 voted against, including Russia. Despite international efforts, only 1,850 children have been returned home so far, so the UN Secretary-General will coordinate the process of finding and safely returning the rest, and Ukraine continues to cooperate with international partners.
The document ''demands that the Russian Federation ensure the immediate, safe and unconditional return of all Ukrainian children who have been forcibly relocated or deported'' and calls on Moscow to cease any further actions of deportation, family separation, change of citizenship, adoption or foster care, and ideological indoctrination.
The text also calls on the UN Secretary-General to step up his good offices, in particular through his Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict, to coordinate UN action, engage with Russia to trace the children who have been removed, and ensure access for international monitoring and humanitarian organizations.
It also expressed support for international initiatives to ensure the immediate return of Ukrainian children and their rehabilitation and reintegration, including access to medical care, psychosocial support and education.
Also, in its latest report, the United Nations has made accusations against Russia, stating that it has committed massive crimes against the civilian population. These include violations such as the forced deportation of Ukrainians during the war and the targeted use of combat drones against civilian targets.
The UN Commission of Inquiry submitted a report to the Third Committee of the General Assembly, which called the actions of the Russian Federation along the right bank of the Dnipro River (over 300 kilometers, covering Dnipro, Kherson and Mykolaiv regions) coordinated and aimed at expelling Ukrainians from their homes.
