Russian authorities are sponsoring 'Useful Vacations' for thousands of youth in Russia and occupied territories of Ukraine, which researchers say are fronts for re-education.
Trudeau says Russia must be held accountable for ‘element of genocide’ in taking Ukrainian childrenchildren this summer with explicit aims to re-educate and militarize them for Moscow’s fighting forces, researchers and advocates say.
“These children are becoming mobilization sources for Russian officials in the occupied territories,” said Vladyslav Havrylov, a research fellow at Georgetown University and a lead researcher of the Where Are Our People project Ukrainian officials and international partners say they have identified roughly 20,000 children who have been deported to Russia since early 2022. Of those, fewer than 400 have been successfully returned to their families in Ukraine.
Researchers and advocates say the movement is one of several organizations responsible for the programs being promoted as “summer camps.”that Russian “fraternal regions” will host 12,000 children from Luhansk for “summer recreation and health improvement” in the coming months.
Havrylov said he wants Japan and other Indo-Pacific countries that have joined NATO allies in condemning Russia’s invasion to help secure the release of Ukrainian children taken to eastern Russia, and even host them temporarily until they can be reunited.
