Russia holds deported children in 210 camps: Data from Yale University research.

Following the start of the large-scale offensive by Russia, at least 210 sites across Russia and in occupied territories have been used for the illegal accommodation of deported children. This is evidenced by data from the Yale University Humanitarian Research Lab, which documents the facts about the illegal abduction of Ukrainian children to Russia, as reported by the Center for Combating Disinformation.

According to inkorr.com: According to experts, more than half of these sites are under the control of federal and local authorities in Russia. In particular, Ukrainian children are housed in the recreation area of the Administration of the Affairs of the President of Russia. 'For example, at the Moscow complex 'Snegiri,' the 'Young Patriot' center has been established, where children undergo systematic 're-education.' Researchers documented cases where children were transported by planes belonging to the Administration of the President of Russia to participate in military programs. At dozens of sites, children aged 8 and older were trained in shooting, grenade throwing, tactical medicine, and handling drones,' the center reported.

At most of these locations, 'cultural patriotic' events are also held, promoting Russian ideology and alienating children from their Ukrainian identity. Analysts point out that the actual number of such locations may be even higher, and the fate of many children remains unknown.

Summary

With the onset of Russia's invasion, it became clear that at least 210 sites across the country and in occupied territories have been used for the illegal accommodation of children deported from Ukraine. The children at these locations are subjected to a comprehensive 're-education program' that promotes Russian ideology and alienates them from Ukrainian culture and identity.
