The indoctrination program that kidnapped Ukrainian children was paused after an international arrest warrant was issued for Vladimir Putin this spring.
But during the summer, hundreds of Ukrainian children have again been sent to patriotic camps in Russia, write Telegraph.
The Ukrainian organization Center for National Resistance believes that Russia wants to “brainwash” the children.
Moscow appears to have reinstated its program of mass indoctrination. Hundreds of Ukrainian children have been sent to Russia during the summer to participate in “patriotic training”.
Ukraine’s Center for National Resistance, a group that works to collect intelligence from the occupied territories of Ukraine, writes that over 400 children have been sent to summer camps in recent weeks.
It is the first time that Moscow has sent children to Russia since the court in The Hague issued an arrest warrant against Vladimir Putin and Maria Lvova-Belova.
The two were considered by the court to be guilty of the widespread forced displacements of Ukrainian children.
Hundreds of children
In recent weeks, at least 200 children have been moved from Luhansk to a resort in the Russian city of Anapa. Another 150 children were sent from Kherson and 50 from the occupied parts of Zaporizhzhya to an unknown location on the Russian coast to the Black Sea.
Ukraine’s Center for National Resistance now accuses Russia of trying to “brainwash” the children in the camps by inviting Russian pop bands and maintaining “patriotic mode”.
They further write that the camps are an attempt to “erase the identity of an entire generation of Ukrainians”.
Maria Lvova-Belova denied the accusations that she kidnaps children and says that only three children are left in the camps as “their parents decided” that they should stay.
