Russia has been accused of forcibly removing thousands of Ukrainian children from their homes. Some Ukrainian students were told they needed to go to Crimea for school "camp," WaPo reported. Students from Kherson, which was seized by Russian troops in March 2022, told the Post their school directors pressured them to go to the "camp." Russia has been repeatedly accused of kidnapping or forcibly removing Ukrainian children from their homes. Children taken to Russia or Russian-occupied territories have no way of returning to their country on their own, often spending months away from their homes.
