At the United for Justice Conference in Toronto, US ambassador-at-large for global criminal justice Beth Van Schaack disclosed that Russia is engaging dubious non-governmental organizations in the abduction of Ukrainian children.
“Children from Ukraine are being taken through occupied territories to Russia and further to Belarus. Rather sinister non-governmental organizations are involved in this, such as ultra-right biker groups,” said the diplomat, according to the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine.
Beth Van Schaack stressed that the widespread removal of Ukrainian children has become a horrific phenomenon, violating the Geneva Conventions and constituting crimes against humanity. She stated that Russian filtration programs break international law.
