Russia’s most heinous act: Abducting Ukraine’s children
Kidnapping Ukraine’s Children: A Story of Survival
Maria Lvova-Belova, Putin’s Commissioner for Children’s Rights,
boasts that 700,000 Ukrainian children have been taken to Russia “for their safety.” Among Russia’s War Crimes, kidnapping Ukraine’s children may be the cruelest. Sadly, it exists on a horrific scale.
The Harrowing Experience of Two Abducted Children
Sergiy Koldin
was 11 and his sister Ksenia 17 when they were kidnapped and sent to Russia two years ago. The Russians separated the children, and they ended up 900 miles apart. As Ksenia explained in a recent in-person interview, the two didn’t see each other for nine months. “It was the worst nine months of my life,” she said.
- During her time in captivity, the Russians allowed Ksenia to continue her studies.
- Despite constant brainwashing attempts, Ksenia remained steadfast in her love for Ukraine.
Ksenia was fortunate to discover a secret hotline to Save Ukraine, an organization dedicated to rescuing Ukrainian children from Russian captivity. This modern-day Underground Railroad was her lifeline.
Mykola Kuleba from Save Ukraine took charge of Ksenia’s story. “We were able to find little Sergiy,” Mykola began, “but the immediate problem was, Sergiy didn’t want to come back.”
Kuleba
heard many similar stories: the Russians’ tactic of brainwashing abducted children to hate Ukraine. Their mission extended beyond repatriation, focusing on mental health support for the traumatized children.
Recovery and Hope
Ksenia, now 19, continues to recover from her ordeal. She is determined to share her story, shedding light on the plight of abducted Ukrainian children and their families.
The journey to recovery is ongoing for Ksenia and her brother, highlighting the need for support systems to address the psychological impact of their abduction and indoctrination.
Ukraine’s battle extends beyond physical conflict; it encompasses safeguarding its future generations from the clutches of oppression and hatred instilled by abductors.
