Ukraine is set to appeal to the G20 countries in the upcoming summit for assistance on Russia’s deportation of Ukrainian children. This follows Kyiv’s claim that Russia has been illegally taking thousands of Ukrainian children and that the deportations by Moscow must be investigated as a war crime.
Ukrainian presidential chief of staff Andriy Yermak said Tuesday that Kyiv plans to address the situation of Ukrainian children in the upcoming G20 summit in Bali this month. Kyiv has said that Russia has been illegally taking children, constituting a war crime.
“The Russian Federation continues to commit its crimes in connection with Ukrainian children,” said Yermak, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s office at a meeting with a group of officials in charge of child protection. “The removal of children continues.”
Back in September, the United States envoy to the United Nations said that 1,800 Ukrainian children were transferred to Russia from the partially controlled Ukrainian territories back in July. Kyiv wants the deportations to be investigated as a war crime.
The statement from Zelenskyy’s office cited the Ukrainian National Information Bureau finding that 10,500 children were deported or forcibly displaced by Russia. The Ukrainian minister in charge of reintegrating reclaimed territories said during the meeting that out of the 10,500, only 96 were returned.
In October, Kyiv said it was working to return 32 children it said were forcibly removed from their parents and brought to Russia. Yermak said that Ukraine could rely on the UN for help but reiterated Kyiv’s lack of confidence in getting help from the International Committee of the Red Cross.
Meanwhile, Russian state media reported that its installed official in the Kherson region, Kirill Stremousov, a prominent figure in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, was killed in a car crash. The TASS news outlet said the death of Stremousov was confirmed by the press service of the head of the region without disclosing further details of the situation.
Sergei Aksyonov, the head of the annexed Crimea peninsula, said Stremousov was a “true fighter” and a “Russian patriot.” Aksyonov did not also disclose any further details.
