Britain’s ambassador to Ukraine, Melinda Simmons, has characterised Russia’s alleged mass abduction of children from Ukraine as a deliberate strategy to sever ties between Ukraine and the “next generation that will defend the country”. Simmons told the Ukrainian news outlet ArmyInform that the alleged abductions were part of its “hybrid invasion” of the country.

Russian president, Putin, and Russia’s children’s commissioner, Maria Lvova-Belova, were indicted by the international criminal court at The Hague over the “unlawful deportation” of Ukrainian children. Children taken or kept by Russia were “subject to an extraordinary, relentless range of brainwashing”, Simmons said, which “creates a psychological barrier between the kids and their parents”.

It meant Ukraine not only needed to find and return those children to their families, but it “inherits” the issue of addressing the “psychological journey to undo the harm of that brainwashing”. Simmons said: “We know that there are children who come back from some of those engagements thinking that fighting Ukraine is the right thing to do.”

‘Child abductions’ are Putin and Russis plan to weaken Ukraine, says UK envoy.
