Russia's Manipulation of Youth: The Chilling Reality.

The Russian authorities have forcibly deported over 19,000 Ukrainian children from occupied territories since the start of the war, with only a small number returned to their parents. The International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin and Russian Children’s Rights Commissioner Maria Lvova-Belova for their alleged complicity in the illegal deportations, which the court has recognized as a war crime. The Russian government attempts to indoctrinate deported children into hating Ukraine through propaganda and "re-education" techniques, including separating children from their families and immersing them in messages like “You don’t need parents” and “You have no future in Ukraine.”
