Kostin points out that Russia itself talks about “de-Ukrainization” of people. “That is not just war propaganda, but a clear incitement to commit atrocities,” he says.
Moscow itself denies forcing Ukrainians to move to Russia. According to Russia, Ukrainian citizens are fleeing the violence of their own accord. But Kiev claims Russia is preventing civilians from fleeing west.
The Kremlin also denies kidnapping and adopting children in Russia. Ukrainian children do receive medical treatment in Russia, it sounds. A report from a US research institute last week found that Russia runs an extensive network of dozens of camps where thousands of Ukrainian children are being held.
