On Sunday, March 20, the Russian occupiers illegally deported 2,389 children to Russia. These children are residents of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, which are currently temporarily occupied by the Russians.

This is a gross violation of international law.

Russia deprives Ukrainian children of parental care and endangers their lives even further by deporting them. The abduction of these children was documented by law enforcement agencies.
