Stolen generation. Russia systematically abducts children from Ukraine, gives them to Russian families

Russia is systematically deporting Ukrainian children from the occupied part of Ukraine against their will – which constitutes genocide according to one of the five definitions given in the United Nations' Genocide Convention.

Once in Russia, Ukrainian children are held incommunicado, brainwashed with pro-Russian propaganda, and adopted by Russian families – even though they have living relatives in Ukraine who are their legal guardians.

Nobody knows for sure how large this "stolen generation" of Ukrainian children is.
