Zelenskyy: Russia turning Ukrainian children into battlefield recruits

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told CBS News he has evidence that Russia is abducting Ukrainian children and training them to fight Ukrainians, a claim that could amount to war crimes per the International Criminal Court; he noted Russia has long treated children as combatants and argued civilians cannot be exchanged for soldiers. The ICC issued a warrant for Vladimir Putin over a program of child deportation. Zelenskyy cited a Yale-led finding that Gazprom and Rosneft helped fund reeducation of thousands of Ukrainian children and said Ukraine has documented at least 20,000 abducted children, while urging Congress to consider tighter sanctions on Russia, including oil-related measures.
