In Belarus, special services prevented 17-year-old Mariupol resident from going back to Ukraine

A 17-year-old young man from the temporarily occupied Mariupol tried to come back to Ukraine, but the special services detained the teenager in Belarus and returned him to Russia

This was reported by the Human Rights Commissioner Dmytro Lubinets.

"Maria Lvova-Belova, who was "honored" with an ICC warrant for war crimes, publicly announced during her press conference for foreign media that Russian special services prevented the Ukrainian child from returning home," Lubinets writes.

It is a citizen of Ukraine, 17-year-old Bohdan Yermokhin. At first, Russian terrorists took the young man from Mariupol to Donetsk and then to Russia, where they found him a foster family.

Bohdan Yermokhin has a sister in Ukraine. The young man tried to return home on his own. He managed to get to Belarus, but the special services detained him and returned him to Russia.

"This story is another public confession of war crimes - the abduction of Ukrainian children! I am sure that there will be a fair punishment for this! We are working for this, and we will appeal to the competent authorities regarding the above-mentioned fact and similar cases! Lvova-Belova noted that they had even prepared a special report on the work of this "institution" to help children who were "affected by the special military operation," that is, Russia's cynical attack on Ukraine. I emphasize once again that these are our Ukrainian children and Russia will be held accountable for every crime," Lubinets writes.

It is worth noting that this young man has Ukrainian citizenship. Therefore, the forced transfer of him to the territory of the aggressor country is not a "rescue," as Lvova-Belova notes, but a crime.
