It also does not appear that Russian authorities sought to establish contact with the children\u2019s relatives or with Ukrainian authorities.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>That finding was\u200b followed quickly by the International Criminal Court\u2019s issuance of an arrest warrant for both Russian \u2062President Vladimir Putin and his\u2063 \u201cchildren\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/one-person-killed-in-kyiv-by-russian-missile-strikes\/\" title=\"One person was killed in Kyiv by Russian Missile Strikes\">rights ombudsman<\/a>,\u201d Lvova-Belova.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of\u2064 the\u200c worst incidents we have seen in this war is the deportation of Ukrainian\u200d civilians\u200c to \u2062Russia, \u200cincluding civilians who have been\u2062 forcibly separated \u200bfrom their family,\u201d State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said Monday. \u201cThat was an important consideration in the secretary&#8217;s determination that Russian \u200bforces and officials have\u200d committed crimes against humanity\u2062 &#8230; And I \u200bwould say that we support accountability\u200c for\u2064 these crimes.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>The Plight of Ukrainian Children in Russia<\/h3>\n<p>Lvova-Belova\u2019s\u2062 report was\u2063 unveiled Sunday, one day \u200bbefore Ukrainian defense officials released their latest assessment of Russia\u2019s mobilization\u2062 of Ukrainian citizens in occupied territories.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThis is a violent mobilization:\u2062 The\u200d occupiers caught people in the street, they came to the\u2064 few\u2064 enterprises that were\u200c still working and \u2063forcibly took people away \u2015 they simply changed clothes and\u2063 sent them to the front,\u201d Ukrainian \u200cDefense Intelligence \u2063Agency representative Andrii Cherniak said Monday. \u201cA person went to \u2062class in the \u200dmorning and\u2063 two days later he already fights. Strictly speaking, Russia \u2062does\u2064 not consider the\u200d residents of Donetsk and Luhansk regions human, \u2064so the occupiers do not care, the laws do not apply.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Such a mobilization raises a painful \u200bdilemma for Ukrainian forces \u2064fighting to liberate those\u2063 occupied territories. \u201cThe only real possibility [to survive] is to surrender immediately, at the first opportunity,\u201d Cherniak said.<\/p>\n<p>Yet the Ukrainian children \u200din\u2062 Russia \u2014 at least\u2063 19,546 \u201cdeported \u2063and\/or forcibly displaced person\u201d, according to Ukrainian data, although \u201cthe exact \u200cnumber\u201d can\u2019t be proven \u2014\u2064 might in a sense be \u2064even more vulnerable, given \u200ctheir submersion in Russian education and media environments. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has made\u200c their recovery a high priority\u2064 in diplomatic talks, but Russian authorities reportedly are &#8220;hiding that they are Ukrainian&#8221; when the children are registered\u2064 into the \u2064national adoption system,\u200d as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/russia-boasts-about-adoption-of-ukrainian-children-despite-war-crimes-charges\/\" title=\"Russia proudly claims to have 'adopted' Ukrainian children, despite facing accusations of war crimes.\">human rights activists told<\/a> The Atlantic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s \u200ca part\u2063 of a genocidal policy\u200c in general,\u201d Tokariuk said. \u201cSo yeah, it is seen as a part of this wider Russian \u2064strategy to eradicate Ukrainian identity, to \u2064kind of crush \u200dthe Ukrainian spirit and existence of Ukraine as an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/zelensky-ukraine-needs-west-to-speed-up-weapons-deliveries-ahead-of-counteroffensive\/\" title=\"Zelensky: Ukraine needs West to speed up weapons deliveries ahead of counteroffensive\">independent democratic nation<\/a>.
