#Russia claims Ukrainian parents gave their consent to send their children to summer camps or health facilities run by Russia.

Credible sources show that some children were not returned after these programs ended.

#Russia claims it relocated Ukrainian children for their safety, but evidence shows many of these transfers were forcible, lacked proper consent and violated international law.

#Russia claims it is "cooperating" to reunite Ukrainian families. Facts tell a different story: returns are rare and driven by Ukraine, international partners and civil society while Russia obstructs their work. #BringKidsBack

#Russia hides behind claims that there is no complete list of deported Ukrainian children. Meanwhile, Russia limits access to records and prevents verification in temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.

#Russia falsely claims #Ukraine is exaggerating the number of deported children. The evidence says otherwise. Multiple independent sources confirm these cases are widespread, systematic and verified.

Russia says it’s rehoming Ukrainian “orphans.”

Also Russia:
–Transfers children without tracing families
–Withholds records needed to find them
–Labels them “orphans” to enable illegal adoptions

A child is not an orphan just because you erased their history.

#BringKidsBack

[Foreign Policy CAN @CanadaFP]

Russia says the issue of deported Ukrainian children is part of a political campaign against it.

Also Russia:
-Dismisses evidence of systematic transfers from credible sources
-Faces international arrest warrants over child deportations

Children are not pawns. #BringKidsBack

In 1986, the world’s most severe nuclear accident happened in Chornobyl. 40 years on, our thoughts are with the people who have suffered its consequences for decades. Chornobyl showed the world that nuclear safety is everyone’s concern.
Canada will not forget.

Russia says #Ukraine’s figures on deported children are unreliable.

Also Russia:
– Continues illegal deportations and forced transfers
– Russifies identities and records
– Limits access to data

The numbers change because Russia is still taking Ukrainian children.
#BringKidsBack

[Foreign Policy CAN @CanadaFP]

Russia claims Ukrainian parents “voluntarily” sent their children to Russian camps.

Also Russia:
-Obtains “consent” under occupation and war
-Keeps children after short-term programs end

Consent to a summer camp does not equal consent to giving away your child.

#BringKidsBack

[Foreign Policy CAN @CanadaFP]

Russia calls it a “temporary evacuation” of Ukrainian children for their safety.

Also Russia:
–Sends Ukrainian children to re-education camps
-Imposes Russian citizenship
-Facilitates illegal adoptions

This is not temporary. It is unlawful.

Russia:
We'll help reunite Ukrainian children with their families if we receive “verified lists”.

Also Russia:
-Unlawfully deports & forcibly transfers children
-Changes identities
-Imposes citizenship
-Enables illegal adoptions
-Limits access to the records needed to find them

Russia uses shadow fleet vessels to bypass sanctions restrictions and transport sanctioned goods and commodities, including Russian oil. The profits help fund Russia’s war machine.

That’s why Canada is sanctioning 100 more of these vessels.
