Taking from homes, detained for months and subjected to intense propaganda before coerced
00:07
adoption, a new report by Yale School of Public Health has shed light on Russia's forceful
00:12
deportation of Ukrainian children.
00:15
The researchers identified 314 Ukrainian children adopted by Russian families and placed into
00:20
institutions initiated by Russian President Vladimir Putin, and he subordinates the operation
00:26
is intended to russify children from Ukraine.
00:29
Yesterday, our team released.
00:31
The way it works is there's three interconnected databases, one of which is directly run by
00:36
the Ministry of Education.
00:38
After the September annexation of area occupied by Russia, they moved the children from midpoints,
00:47
basically safe houses where they had held them for six months, and then placed them
00:51
in the database.
00:53
While in those midpoints, Ukrainian children had to undergo forced reeducation, Raymond
00:58
explained, adding that it amounts to indoctrination.
01:02
That includes for older boys, military training, including vehicle operation, weapons operation,
01:09
parachute jumping.
01:12
And then for younger children, it includes indoctrination in Russian narratives, singing
01:17
Russian songs and being prohibited from speaking Ukrainian.
01:22
In March of last year, the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Vladimir
01:26
Putin and Maria Lvova Belova for their actions and involvement in the unlawful deportation
01:30
of Ukrainian children.
01:32
Your report says the Kremlin launched this program in the first weeks of 2022 in tandem
01:37
with its preparation for its all-out invasion of Ukraine.
01:41
Evidence that we provide in this report, we provided through direct transfer to the International
01:46
Criminal Court, is clear evidence of alleged crimes against humanity.
01:53
And now it is up to the ICC and other jurisdictions to decide whether they want to charge.
01:59
We've given them all the information we have, and we believe the case is clear.
02:04
The situation might get even worse as around 1.5 million Ukrainian children who still live
02:10
in occupied areas of Ukraine remain at high risk of being forcefully deported to Russia.
