AI Summary:
\ Russia-installed occupation authorities in Ukraine’s Luhansk region created an online “catalogue” of Ukrainian children. The database includes 294 Ukrainian children, who are sorted and categorised so that the users can “filter” them by age, gender and physical traits. In many cases, the children are described as “polite and respectful towards the adults”, “disciplined” and “not conflictive” or “can be relied on to execute tasks”. Russian authorities have updated the laws to be able to alter the children’s surnames and birthdays. Kuleba also warned that the platform exposes the children to significant dangers, including sexual exploitation, human trafficking, illegal adoption and organ harvesting. Moscow claims that the number could be as high as 700,000. The ISW uncovered Kremlin documents dated 18 February 2022. Kyiv delegation handed over to Russia a list of its forcefully deported children.
