Since 2014, and increasingly after its 2022 full-scale invasion, Russia has unlawfully detained thousands of Ukrainian civilians.

Arrested for teaching their language, defending their beliefs, and reporting the truth, they are not forgotten.

12 years ago, Russia's illegal occupation of #Crimea marked the beginning of its assault on #Ukraine. Ukrainians continue to pay the price, including civilians unlawfully detained in Crimea and children forcibly transferred from the occupied territory. #UNGA #UNGA81 #CanadaAtUN

Since 2022, Russia has been denying Ukrainian Prisoners of War (POWs) their basic legal rights.

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.

High-profile events can put old stories back in the spotlight.

Foreign regimes may resurface past incidents to reinforce misleading narratives they have pushed before.

When the world is watching, know what to watch for.

Foreign regimes may exploit the spotlight around major events, resurface old stories, reframe real events or make a few voices sound like a crowd.

Since 2022, Russian authorities have accelerated the deportation, re-education, militarization, and coerced fostering and adoption of children from Ukraine.

This must stop.

[Foreign Policy CAN @CanadaFP]

Following Putin’s orders, camps and other programs exposing Ukrainian children to military training were developed in both Russia and temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.

Children are not soldiers.

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.

As children across Canada return to school, thousands of Ukrainian children remain illegally deported - stripped of their language, culture, and connection to home. #BackToSchool #StandWithUkraine

#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.
