Russia deports Ukrainian children to destroy nation

The statement by the Ukrainian delegation to the UN was read on Wednesday by Serhiy Dvornik, Adviser to the Permanent Mission of Ukraine to the UN Security Council, during an open debate in the UN Security Council on the protection of civilians in armed conflict.

“The abduction of at least 230,000 Ukrainian children, among the 1.4 million Ukrainian citizens forcibly deported to Russia, is a crime aimed at destroying the Ukrainian nation by depriving it of its younger generations, and is a modern manifestation of colonialism,” said Dvornik. .

He noted that tens of thousands of peaceful people had been killed and many more injured in the rocket fire and artillery fire on Ukrainian cities by Russian troops. Nearly 220,000 people have lost their homes.

Millions of Ukrainian citizens have been forced to leave the territory occupied or affected by Russian troops. 8 million have become internally displaced and 6.5 million have left Ukraine as refugees.

“We have no doubt that Russia’s military strategies envisaged this refugee crisis as one of the successes of the war. Just like the food crisis,” Dvornik said.

However, he admitted that Russia had not sufficiently appreciated the readiness of Ukraine’s neighbors and other friends to help, hospitality and affection for the Ukrainians.

“Russia is purposefully attacking Ukrainian civilians in its Nazi style as part of its military strategy,” the diplomat said. He recalled that Russia’s crimes against Ukrainian civilians included murder, torture, illegal detention, forced deportation, deprivation of property, attacks on civilian infrastructure, and confiscation of grain from local farmers.
