730 000 Ukrainian children deported by the Russians

She said this on Espreso TV.

"Russians deported 730 000 Ukrainian children, who are now either in the territory of the Russian Federation, temporarily occupied Crimea, or in the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions. The deportation of Ukrainian children started even before the full-scale invasion, with Russians taking children, including orphans, from the occupied territories of Donetsk and Luhansk region," emphasized Kharchenko.

According to her, Russians planned the deportation of Ukrainian children in advance.

"The children are without the support of their parents, disconnected from Ukraine, the Internet, and the ability to see what is truly happening in Ukraine and the world. Their reality is now limited to the propaganda of the "Russian world". The occupiers are indoctrinating Ukrainian children to love Russia and sing the Russian national anthem. They are subjecting them to a new history textbook that glorifies their so-called special operation. As a result, Ukrainian children are already beginning to forget their past lives," emphasized Kharchenko.

• On February 17, Dmytro Lubinets reported that there may be about 150 000 illegally deported Ukrainian children on Russian territory.

• In Ukraine, as a result of the full-scale invasion, 461 children died, 924 were injured.
