(KYIV, Ukraine) Ukraine accused Moscow on Thursday of forcibly taking hundreds of thousands of civilians from shattered Ukrainian cities to Russia, where some may be used as hostages to pressure Kyiv to give up.
Lyudmyla Denisova, Ukraines ombudsperson, said 402,000 people, including 84,000 children, had been taken to Russia.
The Kremlin gave nearly identical numbers for those who have been relocated, but said they wanted to go to Russia. Ukraines rebel-controlled eastern regions are predominantly Russian-speaking, and many people there have supported close ties to Moscow.
A month into the invasion, the two sides traded heavy blows in what has become a devastating war of attrition. Ukraines navy said it sank a large Russian landing ship near the port city of Berdyansk that had been used to bring in armored vehicles. Russia claimed to have taken the eastern town of Izyum after fierce fighting.

The USSR exiled the Crimean Tartars to the Central Asian republics and replaced them with Russians. Some shit different century.

Taking that many children has manifold purpose: to use them as shields, and to drench them in propaganda to turn them against their home country before they are returned, if ever. The bonus is to rob Ukraine of a substantial chunk of their future generations. It's vile.
