More than two million Ukrainian citizens were forcibly deported to Russia, including over 300 thousand children

The lawyer of the Regional Center for Human Rights, Kateryna Ryshevska, during her speech at the summit of the International Crimean Platform, reported that the Russians are trying to increase the number of so-called "internally displaced persons" from temporarily occupied Crimea. Now their number reaches 60-110 thousand people.

"The number of Ukrainian children illegally taken to the Russian Federation and adopted by the Russians has reached 309. This number will increase as the Russian Federation implements the corresponding changes in its legislation. Even the Russian ombudsman for children's rights, Maria Lvova-Belova, admitted that she adopted a boy from Mariupol herself," Ryshevska says.
