This resolution strongly condemns the Government of the Russian Federation's actions involving the abduction, forcible transfer, and illegal deportation of Ukrainian children. It notes with grave concern that Ukrainian authorities have confirmed over 19,546 reports of such unlawful acts, while only 1,274 children have been returned. These actions are highlighted as demonstrating Russia's intent to erase Ukrainian national identity and constituting grave breaches of international law, including the Geneva and Genocide Conventions. The resolution further points out that Russia has altered its adoption laws to facilitate the forced adoption of these children, aiming to raise them as Russian citizens and strip them of their Ukrainian heritage. It also emphasizes that the invasion has significantly increased children's vulnerability to human trafficking, exploitation, and other severe harms. While supporting a peaceful resolution to the conflict, the resolution unequivocally urges that the return of all abducted Ukrainian children by the Russian Federation must be a prerequisite before finalizing any peace agreement.
