“Buy a child online”: Russia creates website with catalog of kidnapped Ukrainian children

Russia has launched a website that shows kidnapped Ukrainian children as “commodities” with photos and descriptions that mimic a slave catalog. The head of the organization Save Ukraine Mykola Kuleba emphasized the massive scale of the crime that Moscow is trying to hide behind the screen of “adoption.”

He wrote about this in Telegram .

Russia created an online catalog for the “sale” of Ukrainian children

Kuleba reported the emergence of an online platform in Russia that openly displays photos, names, and characteristics of kidnapped Ukrainian children. The site allows you to “choose” a child by gender, eye color, hair, and even temperament — like in a full-fledged goods store.

According to Kuleba, this is not an isolated case, but a systemic scheme that has been in effect since at least 2014. Children were taken en masse from the occupied territories of Donetsk, Luhansk, and Crimea. They were transferred to Russian families, mainly near Moscow, forming a new wave of propaganda “adoption.”

“On this site, children are described as a commodity: ‘obedient,’ ‘calm’… This is no different from a slave catalog,” Kuleba wrote.

He emphasized that most of the children were Ukrainian citizens born before the occupation, and some of them were orphans due to murders committed by the occupation authorities themselves.

Additionally, Kuleba noted that Russia has all the evidence of its crimes on its own official resources. As an example, he cited the website of the so-called “Ministry of Education of the LPR”, where many photos of kidnapped children are published.

Meanwhile, The Times previously reported that deported Ukrainian children are being forced to serve in the Russian army and fight against their homeland after they reach adulthood. It is estimated that Russia may be illegally holding as many as 35,000 Ukrainian children. Thousands of them are likely already involved in the fighting.

Ukraine submitted a list of 339 children’s names at the talks in Istanbul. The Russian side, through delegate Volodymyr Medinsky, stated that “some of the children have been returned,” and that “work is ongoing” on the rest. At the same time, the Ukrainian side stressed that the explanations provided by Russia are manipulative and do not correspond to reality.

Head of the Presidential Office Andriy Yermak emphasized: the transfer of the list of children was a gesture of trust, but the Russian Federation’s response only confirmed attempts to legalize mass abductions through falsifications, in particular through forged documents and an attempt to “re-register” children as Russian citizens.

By the way, four more children were returned to Ukraine from the temporarily occupied territories as part of the Bring Kids Back UA initiative.

We will remind you that earlier, three children were returned to Ukraine from Russia and the temporarily occupied territories – two teenagers, 16 and 17 years old, and an 8-year-old girl.
