The Russian theft of Ukrainian children is one terrible aspect of this war. One wonders how many children were taken away after their parents were murdered/killed, in the small towns east of Kiev, where so many early attrocities were discovered or in large town like Mariupol that were heavily bombarded before capture. Now it appears people in the occupied zones are to be deprived of their children too, or have them brainwashed no matter how the parents feel. I have recently heard 3 other disturbing reports on this issue.

1. Regarding Ukraine. It was reported efforts are currently being made to get back 20,000 identified children. The person interviewed said there are likely from 100,000 to 150,000 Ukraine children in Russian hands who are unnamed to Ukraine authorities.

2. In Argentina. The Grandmothers organization in Argentina is still trying to find missing grandchildren, perhaps as many as 20,000. Women who were taken by the Fascist police when pregnant were often allowed to give birth, but killed afterwards. So many babies were given to regime supporters but no one has given the Grandmothers any/adequate records.

3. At the US Border. Many parents were separated from their children as a result of border crossing, under the previous administration. The current administration has succeeded in reuniting quite a number of families. However, babies and young children are unable to assist in searches for parents, and poor records were kept of whereabouts of children and their parents/guardians. Around 1,000 children have still not been reuinited with their parents, given the lack of adequate search information.
