A coalition of international leaders and organizations is calling for the return of Ukrainian children who have been forcibly taken by Russia during the ongoing conflict. Reports indicate that tens of thousands of Ukrainian children have been kidnapped and separated from their families, with many relocated to remote areas in Russia for adoption or institutionalization. The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has demanded answers from Russia regarding the illegal adoption of Ukrainian children taken from occupied Crimea, whose whereabouts have been unknown since 2014. The initiative #BringKidsBack, led by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, aims to highlight this issue and advocate for the safe return of these children. Prominent figures, including Latvian officials and UK politicians, emphasize that the return of these children is essential for any lasting peace in the region, stating that children should never be used as pawns in war. The situation remains dire, as many children continue to be missing, and the international community is urged to take action to ensure their return.

Thousands of Ukrainian children have been stolen by the Russian Federation. As the global conversation focuses on pathways to end the war, we must be unequivocal: The return of all Ukrainian children taken by Russia must be a non-negotiable element of the ongoing peace process. https://t.co/y4cFiEgNAg

This Easter, as we come together with loved ones, thousands of Ukrainian children remain separated from theirs—taken from their homes by Russia.
