The International Criminal Court issues an arrest warrant in March against Russian President Vladimir Putin, accusing him of the war crime of illegally deporting hundreds of children from Ukraine
THE HAGUE, Netherlands – Ukrainian orphans Ivan and Maksym, 17 and 16, escaped shelling and hunger in besieged Mariupol only to be captured and taken to the Russian-occupied city of Donetsk where they were held incommunicado for months with dozens of other children.
The boys, students at the Mariupol Technical School of Building, were living in a dormitory when the area came under fierce bombardment by Russian forces. Food and water ran out, and they fled on foot in March to a nearby village. He said 31 Ukrainian children ended up at Donetsk Hospital Nr. 5, and that most had taken up offers to go to Russia, where they were promised comfortable housing and other incentives.
But Moscow’s envoy to the United Nations in New York said shortly afterwards that Russia did not prevent children contacting relatives and friends, wherever they lived, and that parents could apply for help with reunification. “It is heartbreaking to hear their stories,” Bruins Slot said, promising to provide Ukraine with rapid DNA kits to help match children and parents more quickly.
