UN calls for return of Russia-abducted Ukrainian children in US-backed vote


The #US supported the resolution, while #Russia , #Belarus and #Iran have voted against it. Fifty-seven countries, including #China, #India and #Brazil, #abstained from voting.

Since the start of Russiaโ€™s full-scale invasion in February 2022, #Ukraine has identified over 19,500 #children who were illegally transferred to Russia, Belarus, or Russian-occupied territories. Fewer than 1,300 have been brought back.

Saddest thing is that we've seen this coming for years, and if they would've listened to their own scientists, it would've been at least delayed. But they didn't just deplete their water, they destroyed the #aquifer .
