We do not know how many there really are – mass graves near Mariupol and in occupied cities remain undiscovered.

Since the beginning of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine, at least 631 children have been killed and over 1,975 injured – many of them seriously. 2,245 children have been reported missing.

According to Bring Back Kids UA, 19,546 Ukrainian children were illegally abducted or forcibly deported to Russia. Only 1,324 of them have been returned so far.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants against Vladimir Putin and Maria Lvova-Belova for the illegal deportation of Ukrainian children.
There are over 5,500 military-patriotic recreational camps and 98 so-called ‘re-education camps’ in the occupied territories and in Russia. Ukrainian children are also forcibly Russified and ideologically indoctrinated there.

These actions bear the hallmarks of a targeted genocide – a systematic attack on Ukrainian identity and its eradication.

The world must not forget this pain. Every destroyed childhood, every stolen life demands justice.
