Ukrainian Children Abducted by Russia Reportedly Sent to North Korea, US Senators Examine Evidence

The US Senate is examining new evidence of Russia’s systematic abduction of Ukrainian children, as Senators Lindsey Graham and Brian Schatz held a hearing on December 3.

During the session, Ukrainian journalist and media adviser Ostap Yarysh reported that Ukrainian human rights organizations have uncovered information indicating that some children abducted by Russia were forcibly transferred to North Korea.

According to the groups, the children were placed in military-style camps, raising further concern about the scale and intentions behind Russia’s deportation practices.

The revelation was presented at a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, where lawmakers reviewed testimony and documentation on the ongoing forced displacement of Ukrainian minors by the Russian Federation.

Earlier, First Lady Olena Zelenska told a high-level meeting in Paris, held under President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s Bring Kids Back UA initiative, that Ukraine has so far returned 1,859 children abducted by Russia.
