A report by Yale University's School of Public Health has revealed that Russian presidential aircraft and funds were used in a program to forcibly remove 314 Ukrainian children from occupied territories. These children were stripped of their Ukrainian identity and placed with Russian families, an act that constitutes grave violations of international law. The report highlights that 166 of these children were adopted by Russian families, while others remain in pro-Russia environments. This initiative, supported by U.S.-backed research, underscores Russia's efforts to erase Ukrainian national identity through the abduction and indoctrination of children.
