"On March 17, the International Criminal Court cited Russia’s deportation of
Ukrainian children as a war crime for which President Vladimir Putin is being
held responsible.
By some reports, since the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, more than
6,000 children have been removed from Ukraine into Russia. The UN Commission of
Inquiry on Ukraine published evidence of the “illegal transfer of hundreds of
Ukrainian children to Russia”.
A recent Yale School of Public Health report provides evidence of a organised
attempt to reeducate abducted Ukrainian children now held in locations
stretching from Russian-occupied Crimea to Siberia.
Putin is the first Russian leader to have an arrest warrant issued against him
for the deportation of citizens of another country, but the origins of using
deportation as a weapon are deeply rooted in Russia’s history.
Centuries before the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the
expulsion of individuals or even entire nations was used as a targeted
instrument of war."
