    I’ve sourced the statements I’ve made explaining why it’s a genocide but I won’t be sourcing statements you made for you.

    That would be your responsibility.

        Russia’s longstanding practice of removing Ukrainian children from occupied territories and transferring them to special camps or for adoption by Russian families expanded exponentially with its 2022 invasion. Scholars with the Yale Humanitarian Research Lab (YHRL) found that “[m]ore than 19,000 children from Ukraine have been deported to Russia”, adding that the actual number is likely much higher. As they document, children are being held at least 210 locations across Russia, with at least 130 of those locations conducting “re-education activities.” They also found that Ukrainian children have been subjected to coerced adoption and fostering by Russian families, adding that these programs “appear engaged in systematic re-education efforts that expose children from Ukraine to Russia-centric academic, cultural, patriotic, and/or military education.”

        Far from concealing these operations, Russian officials paraded the children on television as proof of their success in rescuing Ukrainian orphans. However, it is unclear how many of the transferred children are orphans or, if so, lack an extended family capable of caring for them in Ukraine. And in May 2022, President Putin issued a decreeexpediting the process of denationalization, stripping Ukrainian children of citizenship documents and bestowing Russian Federation citizenship, accelerating their adoption by Russian families, and rendering them subject to conscription by the Russian military.
