U.S.-backed report says Russia has held at least 6,000 Ukrainian children for 're-education'

Russia has held at least 6,000 Ukrainian children - likely many more - in sites in Russian-held Crimea and Russia whose primary purpose appears to be political re-education, according to a U.S.-backed report published on Tuesday.

The report said Yale University researchers had identified at least 43 camps and other facilities where Ukrainian children have been held that were part of a "large-scale systematic network" operated by Moscow since its February 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

The children included those with parents or clear familial guardianship, those Russia deemed orphans, others who were in the care of Ukrainian state institutions before the invasion and those whose custody was unclear or uncertain due to the war, it said.

"The primary purpose of the camp facilities we've identified appears to be political re-education," Nathaniel Raymond, one of the researchers, said in a briefing to reporters.

"This network stretches from one end of Russia to the other," Raymond said, adding that researchers believed that the number of facilities in which Ukrainian children have been held exceeds 43.

The system of camps and the adoption by Russian families of Ukrainian children taken from their homeland "appears to be authorized and coordinated at the highest levels of Russia's government," the report said, beginning with President Vladimir Putin and extending to local officials.

“Putin will quit the war when Trump is elected.”

But what’s worse for them - Putin in power, or Trump in power?

“Like government schools in America?”

Not NEARLY as bad as the indoctrination in the West. After all, Russia doesn’t graduate people who think it’s JUST FINE to cut off the sexual organs of children.

The youngest child identified in the Russian program was just four months old, and some camps were giving military training to children as young as 14 years, Raymond said, adding that researchers had not found evidence those children were later deployed in combat.

14-year old cannon fodder.

I remember YEARS ago when we were appalled that Russia was schooling young children...say 3-5 years old.

Here in NYS...this is now big business....and no one poisons minds like the USA.

The same people who believed the Great Viagra Hoax when we were bombing Libya. Remember that one?

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-libya-troops-rape/u-s-envoy-gaddafi-troops-raping-issued-viagra-idUSTRE73S74B20110429

It finally got so ridiculous the CIA had to step in and deny it:

https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna42824884

Typical stuff during wars:

https://apjjf.org/2011/9/24/Peter-Dale-Scott/3548/article.html

I remember a photo of a burned-out tank with a pristine package of Viagra lying next to it as “proof”. I laughed and laughed at that photo at the time, but apparently the idiots in the media who published it never played “what’s wrong with this picture?” in kindergarten. They were all shocked and breathless over it.

And then there was the story of the Iraqis ripping babies from incubators in Kuwait. That one was widely believed.

That is a shame, he is a far cry over Biden or anyone who supports the little 5 foot coke head WEF puppet, Zelensky.

If Trump can destroy the Republican Party, I couldn’t care less if he is elected.

6,000 Ukrainian children for 're-education'...

I can see this twisting from the DSC based on some Truth.

Ukraine is a central DSC center for child trafficking. 6000 trafficked kids in rough shape could have been rescued by Russian forces, and now require medical care.

Note, Ukrainians are not responsible for this trafficking. This is Deep State Cabal organized systemic abuse.

Well, the corrupted little beggar Zelensky has adopted much of Biden’s immoral agenda presumably to keep the $ flowing …..boys in girls bathrooms, men in woman’s sports, gay marriage (now Ukie law ), gay military units ( already formed by the Ukies) , Trans in every .gov public office……I can’t condemn Vlad for codifying into law the moral and righteous raising of children.

Those children will thank him by the time they reach adulthood.

Sounds more like Russia is engaged in child trafficking. Yet another war crime Putin should hang for.
