Return of Ukrainian children forcibly transferred and deported by Russia
Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, more than three years after the criminal invasion of Ukraine, we continue to witness the deep and continuous suffering caused by Putin, particularly on the most vulnerable population. And the deportation of children is undoubtedly the most odious of the violations of international law and human rights, a symbol undoubtedly of Vladimir Putin's cruelty, his contempt for human dignity and his imperialist and even neo-colonialist will. We must do everything we can to stop this unacceptable tragedy. We are here to reiterate the strong, unequivocal demand for the repatriation of all children, all girls illegally detained on Russian territory: We demand them at home, among their affections, in their country and finally safe.
