The Russians are destroying the personal data of children abducted in Ukraine, which makes it difficult to find them. This was stated by the executive director of the Ukrainian Helsinki Human Rights Union Oleksandr Pavlichenko.

Russians destroy personal data of abducted Ukrainian children given up for adoption. They already have different dates of birth, other surnames and names, and this complicates the search procedure,” Pavlichenko said.
According to him, Russian war criminals have been practicing identity erasure since 2014, when they kidnapped babies from orphanages in the temporarily occupied Crimea.
Recall, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russia’s children’s rights commissioner Maria Lvova-Belova due to the illegal deportation of Ukrainian children. In a July 2023 report, Lvova-Belova indicated that since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, about 4.8 million Ukrainians have been deported to Russia, of which more than 700,000 are children. Earlier, Grigory Karasin, head of the International Committee of the Federation Council, said that since 2014, 700,000 children have been deported to Russia.
Under international law, including the 1948 Genocide Convention, there are grounds for a deliberate, planned, institutionalized policy that aims to destroy all or part of a target group – in this case the Ukrainian nation through its children – that could be an indication of genocide.
