The head of the Luhansk regional military administration, Artem Lysohor, reports that on June 8, 2023, the Russians forcibly removed 150 Ukrainian children from the Luhansk region (Ukraine) to the Karachay-Cherkess Republic of Russia. In tribute to their Soviet heritage, the Russians call these children "pioneers" and are now preparing a group of 750 more children who will also be taken to Russia.
"So far, we are receiving information that the invaders are completing groups, as they say, "pioneers", to take out another 750 children. There is no information about previously kidnapped children. We are trying to document all children and receive information about their return or place of residence through our own channels," Artem Lysohor.
This is a targeted kidnapping of Ukrainian children. The invaders come up with ridiculous reasons for their crime, and 70% of the abducted children came up with "pathological diseases" that need to be treated in Russia. Mothers who refuse to give up their children are threatened. From the city of Stanitsa Luhanska, Russians take out children together with their mothers.
