The US Senate is examining new evidence of Russia’s systematic abduction of Ukrainian children, as Senators Lindsey Graham and Brian Schatz held a hearing on December 3.
During the session, Ukrainian journalist and media adviser Ostap Yarysh reported that Ukrainian human rights organizations have uncovered information indicating that some children abducted by Russia were forcibly transferred to North Korea.

According to the groups, the children were placed in military-style camps, raising further concern about the scale and intentions behind Russia’s deportation practices.
The revelation was presented at a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, where lawmakers reviewed testimony and documentation on the ongoing forced displacement of Ukrainian minors by the Russian Federation.
Earlier, First Lady Olena Zelenska told a high-level meeting in Paris, held under President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s Bring Kids Back UA initiative, that Ukraine has so far returned 1,859 children abducted by Russia.

Thought Melania had been helping Putin with that a few weeks ago? Like it’s not a deliberate act?
Bravo Trump, another year of Russian abuse and you’re still too shit scared to flex the muscle you have because you’re compromised.

That's just more disturbing. I guess that rough truth is that they are child slaves for North Korea?

Thinking about 12‑year‑old Misha and 16‑year‑old Liza being transported halfway across the world, that’s horrifying. These children deserve justice and a safe home, not to be pawns in geopolitics.
