The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe adopted a resolution recognizing the deportation and forced transfer of Ukrainian children to Russia as genocide.
It notes that the illegal deportation of Ukrainians from the occupied territories of Russia's Donetsk and Luhansk regions began even before Russia's military invasion of Ukraine in the form of deportations of orphans and the disabled from specialized institutions. PACE called on the International Criminal Court in The Hague to consider the possibility of criminal prosecution for this crime.
