Kallas: Russia is exporting and indoctrinating Ukrainian children

Over 20,500 children have been illegally deported from occupied Ukraine to Russia, constituting a crime against humanity, according to Kaja Kallas. She referenced an OSCE report detailing a state-organized campaign to erase Ukrainian identity among children in occupied territories. Kallas expressed concerns that these deported children might be used in future conflicts against Ukraine. She emphasized that Russia's deportation and indoctrination system relies on a network of individuals and entities, which the EU has sanctioned, including the Songda-1 children's camp in North Korea. Kallas called for direct UN involvement to locate these children and facilitate their return, stressing that any peace agreement must address the security threats to Europe and ensure the return of all Ukrainian children to their families.
