The Ukrainian mothers journeying to Russia to get their children back – BBC News
BBC, 01 Jun 2023
Ukraine has said more than 19,000 children have been removed to Russia, many from children’s homes and special schools in occupied areas.
Russia has insisted that its motives are purely humanitarian, evacuating children to protect them from danger.
The BBC's Eastern Europe correspondent has found new evidence of how the children are treated and met some of the relatives who’ve had to make journeys to get them back.
