Kidnappers of Ukrainian Children: There are about 500 individuals and legal entities in the database.

Nearly 500 individuals are responsible for child abductions

According to the War and Sanctions portal, which belongs to the Center for Combating Disinformation and the Defense Ministry's Intelligence, about 500 individuals and legal entities responsible for child abductions are currently registered. This list will soon be updated with new names.

Center for Combating Disinformation head Andriy Kovalenko stated this in his interview with Ukrinform.

'Currently, the portal features over 300 individuals and more than 100 legal entities. Additionally, we are working with some people who have not yet appeared on the site, but their verification is already ongoing. After successful verification, they will be added to the list,' Kovalenko stated.

According to Kovalenko, the list of Russian propagandists who organize propaganda networks and involve children from temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine will also be updated with new names soon.

'Regarding the section 'Kremlin Mouthpieces', which includes individuals creating propaganda networks and involving children from occupied territories. Currently, there are 58 individuals registered, but there is a package with at least 15 individuals undergoing verification. This means that this portal is constantly updated, but each name and organization must have confirmation. We do not take any information at face value, but each fact goes through several verification stages,' noted the head of the CPD.

Kovalenko added that lists of child abductors and 'Kremlin Mouthpieces' are handed over to international partners for sanctions against them and to international courts for further action.
