EU and UK Sanction Russian Officials Over Systematic Deportation of Ukrainian Children
The European Union and the United Kingdom have imposed sanctions on 23 Russian state institutions and officials, as well as 16 individuals, for their role in the 'systematic unlawful deportation' of Ukrainian children. The sanctions follow claims that thousands of Ukrainian children have been stripped of their identity, given Russian passports, and put up for adoption. The Latvian Foreign Minister, Baiba Braze, stated that Russia is attempting to erase the identity of Ukrainian children during the war.
