Russia, under the guise of "rehabilitation" and "health improvement," took 39 Ukrainian children from four occupied cities in the Luhansk region to a health resort in the Moscow region, according to the Center for National Resistance.

"Under the guise of 'rehabilitation' and 'health improvement,' the Russians continue to deport Ukrainian children. This time, 39 children from the temporarily occupied cities of Rubizhne, Kreminna, Lysychansk, and Svatove were taken to the Klyazma health resort in the Moscow region," the report states.

It is noted that Russia promises a "homely atmosphere" and "examinations," but in reality, this is part of a hybrid genocide. The children are being isolated from Ukraine, its language, culture, and truth.

"According to the occupation authorities themselves, over 1,200 children from temporarily occupied territories have gone through 'rehabilitation' – this is a large-scale forced operation with all the signs of a war crime," emphasized the Center for National Resistance.

Deportation of Ukrainian children

As reported by Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets, since the start of the full-scale war, Russia has deported over 19,500 children from Ukraine. More than a thousand Ukrainian children have been successfully returned home.

The deportation of Ukrainian children was the basis for the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague to issue an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russia's Commissioner for Children's Rights, Maria Lvova-Belova.
