"Russia is abducting children, while North Korea is re-educating them" – according to the EP, there can be no peace without the return of abducted Ukrainian children.

The European Parliament condemned the systematic deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia, highlighting the responsibility of Russia for their rights. The resolution documented over 20,000 cases of deportation and called for accountability for officials involved. Kaja Kallas, the EU's foreign policy chief, stated these actions are part of a state policy approved by Putin. The EU is imposing sanctions on individuals and organizations involved in these deportations, including a North Korean camp where Ukrainian children are indoctrinated. The Parliament supports the International Criminal Court's arrest warrants against Putin and others for war crimes related to these actions. Some representatives emphasized the need for peace negotiations alongside accountability measures.
