Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced that Ukraine will prepare a list of 339 children abducted by Russia within a week or two, along with information about the people and institutions that abducted them. This announcement comes as part of ongoing efforts to address the humanitarian crisis caused by Russia’s occupation of Ukrainian territory.
Zelenskyy cited the abduction of children as a grave violation of human rights and a further escalation of the conflict. He emphasized that the list will not only provide families with information about their missing children but also serve as a tool for holding the abductors accountable. The president also outlined plans to share the information with international organizations and diplomatic allies to seek assistance in the search and recovery efforts.
The announcement has drawn widespread attention and condemnation from the international community, with many calling for increased pressure on Russia to release the abducted children. Zelenskyy’s administration has also pledged to provide support to the families of the missing children, including access to legal resources and psychological counseling. The situation has intensified the already dire humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, where over 10 million people have been displaced due to the ongoing conflict.
