She noted that at least 20,000 Ukrainian children have been forcibly deported to Russia or resettled in Belarus.
We call on the EU and international humanitarian organizations not only to condemn the forced deportations and consider them part of Russia's genocidal policy, but also to step up their efforts to return these children to their families and ensure that they are properly cared for,
