Russians are altering the personal information of children abducted from Ukraine, making it difficult to locate them. There have been instances where they have added age to children who were taken to “re-education camps” in Crimea, as reported by Kateryna Rashevska, a legal expert at the Regional Centre for Human Rights, at a briefing in the Media Center Ukraine.

“I cannot guarantee that this is happening everywhere. We have documented cases where they changed children’s personal data, such as when they were taken to so-called “re-education camps” to avoid obtaining parental consent. They would actually add their ages and then transfer them to Crimea. The child was kept there, unable to return because, according to their documents, they were no longer children, and Russia unlawfully restricted their freedom of movement,” according to the human rights activist.

There are also very young children who, due to their trauma, cannot recall their real names.

Kateryna Rashevska also discussed Russian “re-education camps.” Rashevska described them as “camps of Russification, militarization, and indoctrination.” There are seven such camps on the Crimean peninsula and 43 on Russian territory.

“Some of them took children without their parents’ permission and with forged documents. There were also instances where approximately 200 children were taken and placed in ‘camps,'”according to the human rights activist.

Ukraine has already reported the actions of Russian children’s ombudsman Maria Lvova-Belova to the International Criminal Court (ICC). Lvova-Belova “adopted” a Ukrainian boy, Philip, from Mariupol.

“During the most recent meeting with Putin, Maria Lvova-Belova either forgot or purposefully lied about Philip’s age, claiming he was 15 years old. At the same time, she stated that Philip was 16 almost a year ago. And if we compare the information she provided, we get 17 years old by calculation. Because she stated that Philip lost his mother in 2017 when he was 11 years old, “ according to the legal expert.

According to the human rights activist, such information distortion occurs frequently, and children’s personal data change not only during adoption. According to the human rights activist, the ORDLO (temporarily occupied by Russia territories of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts in Ukraine) registers and the data stolen from orphanages in newly occupied territories are being merged with Russia’s federal orphan database.

Rashevska adds that it will take significant effort to identify these children, locate the families to whom they were transferred, and repatriate them to Ukrainian territory.

“We have an identification problem, and this is the first problem the state must solve,” Rashevska explained.

Ukraine has already identified 16,000 deported children. 400 children were sent to Russian families in 2022, according to data available on the Children of War portal.

“We must work to create a unified legal framework for the return of such children. We cannot wait a year or two for the war to end because some children are already 18 years old, which means forced conscription into the Russian army for boys ” added Kateryna Rashevska.

The human rights activists also documented that Russians are taking children away under the pretext of “medical examination,” which involves medical intervention by Russian doctors.

My beloved city, we will definitely endure💙💛The last few days have been the toughest nights of the entire war. The aggressors have attacked us with missiles and Shaheed. I feel such a mixture of pain and pride for our people.

Last night,

my niece stayed over,

and when the explosions began,

I hesitated to wake the child.

I sat on the floor next to her bed, prepared to shield her with my body if needed.

The attacks intensified, and eventually,

I had to wake her up.

My dog ❤️ lay at our feet,

we all sat on the floor together,

hoping for God's protection 🙏 and relying on our Ukrainian Air Defense💙💛.

You know, after such nights, my questions are not directed at God, nor at ordinary people, or even the aggressors.

My one question is for the world leaders: why do you say that we cannot use Western weapons to attack russians territory ?

⭐Do you consider the lives of our people less valuable?

⭐ Have you ever shielded your children with your own body?

⭐Why has everyone forgotten about Kherson, Bucha, Mariupol?

⭐Why isn't the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant equally terrifying?

After such sleepless nights for our children, 💥we have every right to wipe the kremlin off the face of the earth. 💥

I feel the pain for our people, but we are not broken 💪 .

We continue to move forward.

There's still champagne in the fridge that I will open on Victory Day.

I love you, my city❤️you are our fortress, you give us strength🫶

According to testimonies from locals, other torture victims in the facility knew that Ukrainian children had been kept there by Russian security services, who had called the room “a children's cell.”

Russia's representatives and accomplices have already deported more than 16,000 Ukrainian children. Ukraine has managed to return 307 of them, the Ukrainian Prosecutor-General's Office said.

every day i think about children deported from occupied territories to ru*sia. entire orphanages moving out, kids with parents, kids who just lost their parents. they will be subjugated to the worst propaganda that is out there. anything ukrainian will be stripped off them. they will be taught about great rus*ian saviors, insinuating favourite ru*sian narrative of ukrainians being inferior. i think about tens if not hundreds of thousands of these kids and i become physically sick. i sincerely hope they will not forget about their past lives and there will be a way out - back to ukraine.
