The Hague receives evidence of Lukashenko's involvement in abduction of Ukrainian children

Chairman of the People's Anti-Crisis Management, Pavel Latushko, announced this on Telegram.

On June 27, in The Hague, the Belarusian Anti-Crisis Management handed over evidence of war crimes committed by Alexander Lukashenko, Dmitry Mezentsev, Ivan Golovaty, Alexey Talai, and Olga Volkova to the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. These crimes relate to the forced removal of Ukrainian children from the territories occupied by Russia to Belarus.

As stated by Pavel Latushko, the head of the People's Anti-Crisis Management, the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has received materials regarding the "organized and systematic removal of Ukrainian children," which began in September 2022. The routes and cities from which over 2,100 children were taken are listed. There are also known cases of "non-systematic organized deportation of Ukrainian children to Belarus prior to September 2022."

"The materials submitted to the Prosecutor indicate that Lukashenko personally signed documents of organizational and administrative nature under the guise of the so-called Union State of Belarus and Russia, based on which the deportation of Ukrainian children to Belarus was organized and financed," emphasizes Latushko.

The majority of children were brought to the Dubrava camp, which is owned by Belaruskali (one of the largest manufacturers and exporters of potash fertilizers in the world).

"At the same time, today we are actively preparing for the next 'strike' in the criminal prosecution of Lukashenko for the crimes he committed against peace and the security of humanity," adds Latushko.

• Recall that on March 17, the International Criminal Court in The Hague issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin and the commissioner for children's affairs in Russia, Maria Lvova-Belova. The decision of the National Criminal Court is related to the war crimes committed by Putin and Lvova-Belova, who are suspected of the illegal deportation of the Ukrainian population, including children.
