“The Russian authorities do not return the children. This is deliberate genocide and hidden deportation,” – Head of the Kherson oblast Council Oleksandr Samoilenko

Such a situation currently exists in the temporarily occupied territories of the Kherson oblast, he stated during a briefing at the Media Center Ukraine — Odesa.

“Some of our people indulged in such a gratuitous act. They let take the children allegedly on vacation, although we warned that they should not deal with our opponents, who are actually enemies,” said Samoilenko.

And now the russians do not return the children they took away. In some cases they want both parents to come to the russian federation to take the child in, the official added.

“No one abandons their children, and in 90% of cases it is impossible to return to the occupied territories, this can be called deliberate genocide and covert deportation,” – Oleksandr Samoilenko said during a briefing at the Media Center Ukraine — Odesa.
