Ukraine war: ICC issues arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin over alleged war crimes

Since the beginning of the full-scale war, around 16,000 children have been forcefully taken to Russia, according to Ukrainian officials.

Some of these children were taken under the pretense of "humanitarian evacuation" from Russian-occupied cities like Mariupol.

Not all of the children taken to Russia were orphans, implying that some of them were separated from their families against their will.

The forced removal of children is a concerning aspect of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, and raises questions about the treatment of civilians.

The exact reasons behind the forced removal of children and their current living conditions in Russia are unclear and require further investigation.
