Dutch, German ministers condemn child abductions in Ukraine

The German and Dutch foreign ministers on Monday condemned the deportation by Russians of thousands of Ukrainian children, calling it a deliberate policy of cruel and inhumane abductions that is tearing families apart.

Since Moscow launched its war in Ukraine nearly a year ago, Russians have been accused of deporting Ukrainian children to Russia or Russian-held territories to raise them as their own. At least 1,000 children were seized from schools and orphanages in the Kherson region during Russia’s eight-month occupation of the area, local authorities say. Their whereabouts are still unknown.

Russia claims that these children don’t have parents or guardians to look after them, or that they can’t be reached. But the AP found that officials have deported Ukrainian children to Russia or Russian-held territories without consent, lied to them that they weren’t wanted by their parents, used them for propaganda, and given them Russian families and citizenship.

“Russia must account for the whereabouts of these children,” German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said at a joint press conference with her Dutch colleague Wopke Hoekstra in The Hague.

It’s what vulnerable populations with a declining birthrate do: Many North American Indian tribes engaged in such abductions.

The story is a hogwash. Evaluating an orphanage from a war zone is a sensible thing to do Ukrainians could follow.
The lack of parent’s consent is more of hogwash. They ended up in orphanage for a reason and nobody is going to look for parents when the shelling takes place.

things must be very very bad for Z-ski given the recent amount of Zeeper propaganda!
things are bad for Z again today.
Wagner has captured the Sil railway station along with adjacent residential area.
Fighting continues at Salt Mine #7.
The Soledar mop up may take a few more days.
.
If the attack on Krasna Gora captures high ground, m-03 road which brings supplies from Slavansk would be within artillery range..bakmut northwest encirclement advancing...
.
Wagner advancing around Klesheevaka..High ground there would bring the supply road from Constantinovka in artillery range..Bakmut southwest encirclement advancing.
.
I wouldn’t want to be in Bakmut.Biden don’t care about the last Ukrainian!

There are REAL problems with trafficking children in Europe:

Human trafficking in the Netherlands

Netherlands among worst nations for human trafficking

Human trafficking in Germany

Human trafficking on the rise in Germany

A little further to the West.

It’s called moving them out of the reach of the Ukraine’s monstrous child traffickers.

—”The story is a hogwash”

How would you know? Just because you are a bot it does not make you a Subject Matter Expert.

Simply because I am capable of logical thinking.

Imagine, you are in charge of the city, the enemy is constantly shelling, threatening tobflood by blowing a dam, and you are evaluating a city.
There is orphanage among other things.
What is your course of action?

I realize that this torrent of propaganda is tough for weak minds, but try to use brains for once.

How is it that you are not susceptible to propaganda, you were flipped long ago and never realized it?

I mentioned that you missed the substance of my post. How not “abducting” children looks like in this case?
Do you believe the Russians shell the nuclear power plant occupied by their troops as well?
Media told it is the case.
To you believe in the Russian hoax? Is Hunter’s laptop a Russian propaganda?

The children were taken from “schools” and orphanages, during your occupation, not in the heat of battle, their whereabouts are unknown and their families and parents can’t find them.

The children are being disappeared into Russian families and citizenship, hidden from their people and parents.

NorseViking wasn’t flipped, he is retired Russian military.

More hogwash. You can’t filter propaganda to see the story, or pretend not to.

Calling it hogwash doesn’t change the fact that Russia is kidnapping children in massive numbers.
