EU Says Russia Targets Ukrainian Children’s Identity and Could Use Them in War
EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas told the European Parliament that the EU has evidence of an organized Russian campaign to deport Ukrainian children, erase their national identity, and potentially send them to fight against Ukraine. She said 2,719 Ukrainian children had been returned as of November 2026, while more than 20,500 remained illegally taken out of Ukraine.
