EU Parliament calls for broader sanctions over deportation of Ukrainian children
EU officials said Russia has deported more than 20,500 Ukrainian children from occupied territories and called the deportations and destruction of children's national identity a crime against humanity. The European Parliament backed expanded sanctions on Russian, Belarusian and North Korean officials and structures, while figures for children returned to Ukraine vary between 2,719 and 2,790.
