Haven't seen this in notables, heard a snippet on the radio this morning on the way to work.
More than 2,000 kids 'kidnapped and deported to Russia' in volation’ of foreign law
Ukraine on Tuesday, March 22, said that Russia had kidnapped children from the Donbas region. According to Ukraine's foreign ministry, 2,389 children from the Russia-controlled Donbas region were “illegally deported” to Russia.
The Donbas region in Ukraine has had a significant pro-Russian separatist presence since the Russo-Ukrainian war of 2014. In recent days, the region has come into focus after two constituents of the region — Donetsk and Luhansk — were recognised as independent entities by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Putin even secured rights to set up military installations in the two "independent republics". The region is essentially under Russian control now.
Ukraine's allegation on Tuesday comes on the heels of a series of accusations of Russia targeting children in its invasion. Last week, Ukraine said that Russia had bombed a theatre in Mariupol where many, including children, had taken shelter. Satellite images showed the word "children" in a large Russian script painted on the ground outside the red-roofed Mariupol Drama Theatre.
