Russia is transporting Ukrainian children to Crimea: the reason has been revealed.

According to information from the Center for National Resistance, Russian invaders are forcibly deporting Ukrainian children living in occupied territories. More than 20,000 children have already been taken out, and another 1.5 million are at risk of deportation.

According to the Center, the Russian invaders are changing educational programs and forcing Ukrainian children to study using Russian textbooks. They are also trying to alter these children's identities and acclimatize them to the Russian system.

The Russian enemies are also changing the personal data and citizenship of the children, complicating their return to their homes. Such actions violate international humanitarian law, which prohibits the deportation and forced relocation of children.

A representative of the Estonian delegation in PACE, Kadri Tal, called for a plan of action to rescue the deported children. She emphasized that Russian actions are aimed at depriving the Ukrainian people of a future and identity. Additionally, it is known that Russian special services are actively recruiting minors for sabotage work.
