Part 3: If you want to conquer a people, raise their children Investigation link: https://lnkd.in/ey8i2taa In the third part of our research, we delve into a brutal story of power, influence, and the unimaginable.  Our team, including Nicoleta Banila, Vyacheslav Kolomets, Vasile Popa, Deniz M. Dirisu and Gijs Freriks, uncovered the individuals and entities responsible for forcibly relocating children from occupied areas to Russia. The investigation sheds light on the complex web created behind closed doors and reveals the terrifying journey taken by helpless individuals who were forcibly transferred from occupied areas to Russia. With over 380 children forcibly removed from their homes in Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson, and Mariupol for adoption and guardianship, the severity of this crisis becomes painfully clear. As we learn about the communities and people stepping up to provide care and support for these kids, the resiliency of the human spirit emerges. Join us as we raise awareness of this horrific situation and fight for the rights of these displaced children. Together, we can change things. #ChildrensRights #InvestigativeResearch #HumanitarianEfforts
