the sign it reset in the i c d w the form i'm trying to call a collab. i see your save your crane. rescue font just say off to the occupation of territories to offer here. so on and hard to regions. we recognize that it's a lot of children who would be an inductive fluid, deported, forcibly deported to the garage, or craney, or on the plan,

how we can return them to your brain. so who is this for the right here? you crying to the companies on back home makes me want to cry. when we return kids, we document. this is for crimes because every child is the witness. oh, for crying. the shakes. fresh. i felt very relieved the since they returned to ukraine to day years ago. liza entered friends had been staying

a few kilometers outside of keys. the exact location cannot be revealed for security reasons. the . their families are still living in the south of the country, not far from the front line project. i'm angry at russia because of all the ukrainian children, the kids now, cuz we did all sorts of things to an issue. we didn't wanted news of going on. some kids the still them use the cheese, we couldn't get them back, could do to them. we don't know what's going to happen to them. it came up with some projects easier for us to seem as they could be any way. the same old thing which could also save you crane is a ukrainian n g o working to help bring deported children back home it as a team of around 100 volunteers the course to the time and it gives me might

so this department is responsible for the deported children, we're trying to bring back to ukraine to keep them up over time. ok. you know, if you headed by me rous lava, she's a lawyer spetchko separate united. so it is, 1st we get a phone call about a missing child, or we hear about it through social media or are volunteers and then liberated territories and a couple of and they're not the phone that we then look into how the child disappeared and try to determine their current location to defend the parents or guardians often to very little about their child's whereabouts. so can you please think in the that's why we try to find out more information and then handled the logistical side of bringing that child back up. and so what the videos work begins as soon as a child disappears the but how do these children become separated from their families?

how is russia exploding the chaos of war to a duct young ukrainians? to find out more, we head to the south of the country. russia had occupied part of this region for the best part of the year. november 2022. they were asked by ukrainian forces the to show it for you, hopefully enough test on after the liberation because the russians with on boarding it, which i'll research for keith. it's nice here. you can see how such a thing the sun shining. and let's go back to that i still want to go home that alone. just let's see. us evans guy has 2 daughters to meet us. lava is 7 years old because the news

sophia, is 15. she agrees to an interview, but doesn't want to show her face on camera. her story began shortly after the invasion, when russian forces captured the city of harris on sophia to go to see a went to a ukrainian school, which in locally beloved under the patient. it was turned into a russian school. i used the fields or what do you want to do to take them that she still wanted to go or not because this high school, what we're saying, all of them. oh, she probably, the teachers offered to take us to a summer camp. at 1st they talked about how cool it would be come up, but then they insisted that we go, which is the reason i feel a lot small having this long cause. the issue, what are they said? we could fake our parent's signature, but they didn't want to sign. it is sort of what he wants you to enter. the police said we'd be gone for 10 days. so we get into just today. on october 14th,

2022. sophia entered schoolmates were taken by bus and then boat to a holiday camp and the russian town up in napa. 10 days later they were told they would not be returning to ukraine. way unless it is. we need to, to this little bit when we call the principal to ask when we'd be coming home, start of it. but he didn't answer the phone on to when we tried again and again on the for a whole 3 days ago. and he still didn't pick up on the best thing that goes on before i was shocked envelopes like we all were sort you unless you, they've said we realized that it had been a trap. so thus stick the one that our situation was hopeless. most of the go to a little schools with those are is the 1st time doing the ship. also check the topic, cheese clock who feels wrote to me on december. the 20th that she wants to come home, which is the don't she said, you come and get me now. if i, if you are sure,

i explained it wasn't not easy and started making inquiries to atlanta through child that guessing her back was impossible, quite down to the most of the lives of the russians. then made an offer to sophia and the 600 other young ukrainians in her camp is cuz i remember she said the questions about they said if you want to go home, you need a russian passport. since you 14, you don't have a ukrainian one. you need a russian one. that's possible. what could i do? i had no choice. what was that? the total with the 1st saw? no. it was a little set up to return this few children as possible to that. parents are going to be, you know, down to about sci fi i left house on, on october the 14th and already had a russian passport on the 25th. how can a possible be issued in just 10 days possible?

so you have to hold as of this, if you on april the 9th i headed for keys wherever another mother was waiting for me for you from the week of the toner bus to also shop for jim knoxville. and then some volunteers will cost to breast in batteries on fed or whatever we do is down by the time we go to the full address we're seeing on that's called a bundle in each called of the commercial sama solution, ansible window. the west was being interrogated in batteries and russia when the, if i had been the people in trouble and they questioned me for more than an hour and a hodge in the middle of the night. so that it was emotionally exhausting her model for thought. they asked me where i wanted to go. sure why. the questions were really intimidating. chip it fine. yeah. the show over with you on some of the with

to finally i was able to catch a flight to moscow. you a call came to pick me up and then we tried to cry. mia, you had to take, but you call that some of the pretty close of the machine. so what do you remember? are you calling from another 3 hours later? i reached sophia 13 the thing and then we went home straight away. regardless of he was on april 8th, 2023. after 7 months in russia. sophia was re united with her mother. yeah, the only thing i do realize at 1st that i was leading russia right up to the last moment. i didn't think it would happen and couldn't believe i was back in ukraine. no. so i was always desperate to come back the other day and was so happy which a hi, this ritual. i was so happy that we should send you

a lie of the russians doing this. but at least i guess they want to destroy people with them. but from the human point of view, i don't understand how you can do these sorts of things. just don't get to go. so events, good family story is a familiar one from the parts of ukraine that came under russian occupation. thousands of ukrainian children were brought to what were supposedly vacation caps the the camps are part of the campaign of total rest of the occasion. daria, here to some truck is an advisor on children's rights to the ukraine in president. she says what's happening to ukrainian children in russian camps is a form of indoctrination. could you tell them what they're not allowed to say they're ukranian speak ukrainian or talk about their families for,

for your senior. instead, they're taught the russian language, russian culture and history overseas custodial every day begins with the russian national anthem. so that the movie, as a child refuses to stand up or sing there, denied food, or punished you for below to use you. this video with shot 9 months into the war. it shows young ukrainians from the occupied territories being taken to a rather unusual holiday camp in chechnya. 8 8 the, the young people here are given a patriotic, spiritual and moral education. in this camp and crimea, russian president vladimir putin himself gave an address to hundreds of teenagers including young ukrainians from occupied territories. or hello everyone

during can part tech, which is home for everyone who took part in our great change competition. we're now welcoming young people from all regions of our nation if you end up not sure. but on the vacation camp, such as these are a legacy of the former soviet union. we were able to film one of these camps from a careful distance a historian who wished to remain anonymous due to the harsh repression of critical voices in russia, explained the idea behind these camps. we were in leningrad region in the village of cousins, most in petersburg. the summer camp on the other side of that fence was built in the soviet to you with talk with the to do on your parents would send the children on vacation here and pay next to nothing to parents could receive vouchers at work in order to send the children to these camps,

she says they are still more than 3000 caps like this across russia. ukrainian children end up sent as far away as siberia becomes had a military style routine and still do compare the daily schedules in terms of form and structure of the system set up in the 19 twenty's hasn't changed. nothing has changed the past on in southern ukraine was occupied by russian forces for almost 9 months since its liberation by ukrainian forces. it's continued to come under relentless bombardment as part of a program of rest, if a cation,

moscow, even, abducted ukrainian children, or from local orphanages mean, when the war began, there were $52.00 children between the age of 3 and 18, living here, this. and that's the federal camp roller dns stuff i dock is the director of a rehabilitation center for children in harris on the floor with most of the children's rooms are on the 1st floor. there is a ticket. the 2nd month of this one is for teenagers as the lower boys lived here to fit a trouble offer on. this is our tree of joy with photos of the 52 children who lived here during the occupation. we woke up, but same stories about children being deported, spread like wildfire through the occupied areas of the mayor had also heard the

rumors before the russians arrived at his orphanage shaw icon. if i don't hide the kids or we're not evacuated and then the same thing is going to happen here to up. so they'll end up in russia a bonus. it doesn't mean unless it leaves. it doesn't mean stroke when it became clear that we weren't going to be evacuated and, and we're on our own. yep. i started thinking about how to hide with the kids on the some or something like that. yeah. so much that today we had 17 kids in the homes of staff members, teachers and nurses and social workers across what's happening. but the whole other story to and to be on the safe side, we invented fake background stories for them is also a certificate. in the end 5 teenagers were left to face with us. i'm actually able

to see damage that when the russians arrived on june 4th. originally they were with me. it seemed like the russians. a rifle was filmed in secret and maybe a little bit more on the video. you can see the door opening it. the footage came from the centers surveillance cameras, said who is the security guard? let's in to f. s b officers and to soldiers to mask and arm soldiers demand to be shown around the orphanage. they want to know where the children are. one of the f s b officers is seen checking the orphanages records the but he doesn't find what he's looking for. the,

the team area and the 5 teenagers say nothing of interest because i have to show these kids are real patriots. but the one thing when they didn't want to talk to the russian down on this cause all they just said they were fine and didn't need anything. because all that, and they refused to have their photos taken, which on the russians didn't take the teams with them apparently because they were too few of them for a few kilometers away. the russians continued their search and the maternity clinic and the children's hospital here to the children were saved thanks to the courage of staff members that are not required. if not these windows, the counsel him to the need for a rifka, you pool. as the whole, the russian shut the tests from the other side of the stomach, the messiah land,

detail and new year's eve. we piled up some bags against the windows. so for. ready this baby was born in the 30th week and had a serious pneumonia. we were caring for the baby. all the maternity clinics were attacked by missiles, every single one of my to should you and your soldiers entered the hospital and then pretending to be doctors. unfortunately, our head physician gave them a warm welcome thing, a lot a, but that was, they told us to hand over a list of the children, so they could be evacuated immediately. but we knew what that would mean this minute. so we changed the children's medical records to make them appear sicker than they were funded. they. we set up

a fake intensive care unit to complete with monitors, electrocardiogram machines, and all the other equipment even new issued reports twice. daily. that said, the children were too sick to be transferred. so what did she mention? hold on a minute. wait for every day at the start of my shift, my colleagues would tell me in the hon, david, that the children in serious condition would too sick to be transferred. if our boss had stopped by he'd have seen through, it's immediately much of it. fortunately, he didn't come by the boxes. these are the reasons why we put the supposedly sick children, the risk of the entire team for them to keep them from being taken to russia. crimea will even further away that on the screen, it does shift both. i'm one of the strategy was a joint effort given additional no one broke ranks and the

russians didn't manage to deport any of the children. eventually her son was liberated by the ukrainian army because we were so happy to see the russians believe we were a bit scared at 1st and then just relief they were gone. were you but many ukrainians risk everything to hide children and for russia, keeping children in vacation camps was just the 1st step the rest of vacation program organized by moscow went well beyond that the even woodkalski and maxine boy managed to escape. they came very close to never

seeing ukraine again. maxime is an orphan. yvonne's mother lost custody of him. the 2 teenagers now live in the north vintage at the 1st slide cuz i don't really like, we don't like this guy, which is why we put this on the door. so design it so that everyone knows what we think difficult for me. ukraine will when and the phantom of the 2 boys story began in mario book, one month after the war started. they shot this video on march 20th 2022. on the morning after a night of bump argument. which slide on march 20th, we set out for a man who's on foot reaching his come at mongol sweet past when he used to be

a ukrainian check point and look, but was now a russian one envelope. the e not from there, we were taken to the hospital, so i'm really head nurse heard that we were orphan said. so essentially, mrs. 1000 all just i'm going to to shut up the end because man hush was now occupied, was a political buffy. they called the social welfare office and don't yet, i need those. we need to ask the to the next morning, people arrive to pick us up and get some safety in us. and for those of the boys were subjected to russian propaganda from the day of the rab duction. with a camera running, the pro russian may or claim to be their rescue or even wearing a medical smocks for greater credibility. what are you listening to the doctors and taking your medicine? yes. then you'll be doing better soon. thank god,

you got out of there alive. the water is now over for you. your home and you'll grow up in a caring and safe environment. you'll be in good hands if you can get back to your daily lives, including school. we'll take care of everything that has been on the window and you can reach me showing that we didn't expect that, but now we still haven't been able to recover from mario pub is a number kind of half of sleep media post balls. i couldn't sleep properly and then he comes along promising. all this stuff i'm providing when it's appears, which they said we could go to high school and just one week's time and promise we'd be in a really nice sort of an inch. might still be deported. change, but we stayed in the hospital competitors and nothing happened in showing you insurance. they interrogated us twice because our conversations were suspicious. and the never a lot of children from audio post and with us to don't. yeah. it's could been separated from their parents and when their parents no longer had custody of the

summer. yvonne and maxime have their teach or anton victoria, which to think for the return to ukraine, the 2nd seat once in 3 months. after their arrival in the nets, he picked them up from occupied territory just in time. thank god, they weren't taking the russia all the other children were promised that they would return. but none of them did. philip was in that group to maria live up beloved, adopted him, and even boasted about giving him a phone for his birthday. so heroic god forgive me, but i wish she were dead because this is maria level, but below of with the boy she forcibly adopted to that. and this is her on february 16th 2023. talking to vladimir. put visa. i've been visiting

hospitals in particular regions, the treating children injured by explosions. it's shocking to head, but they say they were shocked in the back by ukrainian soldiers, especially in mary. u. po. maria live over below. but as russia's presidential commissioner for children's rights personally appointed by black to mapleton, that'll explain something to you. since the beginning of the war, she's made repeated public appearances, an occupied areas posing on camera at the bedside of ukrainian children. what's it for? how much it will help me get better such a level that that love encourages russian families to adopt children deported from ukraine. so this is the final phase and the program of rest of vacation coordinated together with bottom a food. and i'm going to do this, which we've compiled

a list of children who already have the required documentation, meaning russian citizenship times. when are the ones who want russian direct ministers have rules that we have to respect to tell me which ones you mean and we'll get around them. customers right now we have to prioritize the children's interest over bureaucracy. 2 months after that conversation to consigned to decree, making it easier for russian families to adopt ukrainian children. the, the russian propaganda machine immediately swung into action with documentary is like this one. apparently showing ukrainian children living happy lives after their forced adoption by russians. was my nice big family, my dad and my beloved mom, the international criminal court in the hague accused. maria live over at the nova

and flooded me, putting up a war crimes and issued arrest warrants for overseeing the abduction and deportation of children. the which i law are so young and the russian meteor of co said the kidnapped to ukrainian children . what is that to a, to, to as a noble act of kindness for their own good. why do you know that so nonsense? so for the decisions made by the russian authorities to make it easier to change children's nationality and adopt them prove that they never had any intention of returning the children in school from augusta, queen's condition. so it should prove that this is nothing evacuation for, according to off, it goes russia, abducted $2.00 to $300.00 thousands ukrainian children to the city of columbia. we have specific evidence of the d protection of some 19400 children instead of knots at the foot sofa. we finally managed to bring 366 of them back home that she did. they fill up the still lives with the woman who adopted him. maria live up at the

low. yvonne who survived the assault on mario paul has been in touch with him since i lost him impending, i write to him regularly. he tells me how he's doing, why i ask how they're treating him, even with them to what he seems to be. okay. but he doesn't like that. the woman works for that guy. put in the course. he's staying a beat and it's still probably ukraine and okay, look, as the war continues, ukraine is determined to liberate other areas from occupation. and many believe that children there have also been deported. the the outlook bleach. germany's economy is shrinking. the mood

for some mid sized businesses are struggling to survive. germany is done and losing ground in the international competition. are politicians to blame, made in germany d, w, the the, the

. this is the w. news lived from berlin, the european union, a breeze on press sanctions on russia. the death of assisted in less than a volley as pressure to impose new steps to punish the kremlin with the weather. previous sections are slowly impressions, economy also coming up from 0 to 0 for the manager of germany's football champions, fire and unit gifts, thomas, to hold the boot. at the end of the disappointing season, the un security council moves to force an end to the fighting in gaza, but they knew west locks to resolution calling for an immediate the troops, china and.
