Analysis Summary
RFE/RL and Reckoning Project journalists found four Ukrainian children abducted from a state orphanage in 2022 currently listed on Russia's state adoption website with no indication of their origin or forced removal. The UN Commission of Inquiry has confirmed that Russia's systematic deportation and forcible transfer of Ukrainian children constitutes war crimes and crimes against humanity—accusations Russia has repeatedly denied. The article documents specific cases including a toddler separated from his mother for over a year and notes that of 20,570 children forcibly deported since February 2022, only 2,083 have been returned; many have been given Russian citizenship and placed with families, making recovery difficult.
