Yale Report Exposes Vast Russian Child Network | JQJO

A Yale University report reveals a vast Russian network of sites in Russia and occupied Ukraine where thousands of Ukrainian children, as young as 8, are forcibly re-educated and receive military training. The report, documenting 210 locations (156 newly identified), shows re-education at 62% and military training at 19% of these sites. The network spans over 3,500 miles, with estimates of missing children ranging from 19,500 to 35,000. The findings have horrified European officials and underscore the scale of the alleged war crime, with Ukraine demanding the children's return as part of any peace deal. The Yale lab, facing funding uncertainty, continues its investigation.
