Matviichuk to Newsmax: Putin Is the ‘Biggest Child Kidnapper in the World’
Ukrainian human rights lawyer Oleksandra Matviichuk has called Russian President Vladimir Putin the “biggest child kidnapper in the world,” as more than 19,000 Ukrainian children have reportedly been abducted and deported to Russia for reeducation and forced adoption.
Matviichuk condemned Russian President Vladimir Putin on Newsmax, Wednesday, for orchestrating the abduction of more than 19,000 Ukrainian children since the start of the war in February 2022.
In an interview on “The Record With Greta Van Susteren,” Matviichuk said Ukrainian children are being held in what she described as “Russian reeducation camps,” where they are told they are not Ukrainian but Russian.
Many are then forced to be adopted by Russian families, regardless of whether their biological parents or relatives are still alive and searching for them. “It’s still going on,” Matviichuk said, adding that the situation remains a critical issue for Ukrainian society.
