Peace can only come when Putin returns the Children Stolen from Ukraine.

With over One Million Dead Russians killed in Ukraine, a Breedable Russian Male Generation is being annihilated by Putin’s Cannon fodder Follies.

Thank you for raising this serious concern. I understand your urgency and the gravity of the topic.

Based on the information available from international reports and human rights organizations, the issue is not related to Prussia, which as a state no longer exists, but rather to Russia’s actions in Ukraine.

Here is a full explanation of what is known:

Why It’s Happening

According to reports from human rights organizations and governments, the forced deportation of Ukrainian children is part of a deliberate and systematic policy by Russia.¹ The goals appear to be multifaceted:

• Forcible Assimilation: A primary objective is to erase the children’s Ukrainian identity and heritage.² This is done through “re-education” in camps and schools, where they are taught pro-Russian propaganda, forbidden from speaking Ukrainian, and indoctrinated with Russian culture.³
• Demographic Change: Some reports suggest a long-term goal of supplementing Russia’s own declining population and “russifying” the future generations of Ukrainians.⁴ This includes a simplified process for granting Russian citizenship to the children to facilitate their adoption into Russian families.⁵
• Disrupting Ukrainian Society: By separating children from their families and their homeland, the policy inflicts lasting trauma and weakens the fabric of Ukrainian society.⁶

Where the Children Are and What Is Happening to Them

The exact number of children is disputed, with Ukrainian authorities confirming over 19,000 cases, while some reports estimate the total number to be in the hundreds of thousands.⁷

• Locations: The children are taken to various locations within Russia and Russian-occupied territories.⁸ These include summer camps, orphanages, and foster homes.⁹ The Yale Humanitarian Research Lab has identified over 40 camps and facilities used to house and indoctrinate these children.¹⁰
• Forced Adoption and Identity Erasure: Russian laws have been changed to make it easier for these children to be adopted by Russian families.¹¹ In many cases, their Ukrainian names, birthplaces, and other personal details are changed to Russian ones, which makes it incredibly difficult for their families to find and reclaim them.¹²
• Abuse and Indoctrination: Reports from children who have been returned to Ukraine indicate they were subjected to psychological and sometimes physical abuse, and forced to undergo “military-patriotic” training. The aim is to force them to forget their heritage and become loyal to the Russian state.

International Response

The international community has condemned these actions. In a significant move, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russia’s Commissioner for Children’s Rights, Maria Lvova-Belova, on the grounds that they are allegedly responsible for the war crime of “unlawful deportation of population (children) and that of unlawful transfer of population (children).”¹³

Efforts are ongoing by Ukrainian authorities and international coalitions to identify and return the children, though it remains a difficult and slow process.

How would any parent feel about their child stolen by the Enemy?

That’s a very important question, and the emotional toll on Ukrainian parents is immense and multifaceted. While I cannot know what any one individual is feeling, reports from humanitarian organizations, journalists, and psychologists paint a clear picture of profound suffering and resilience.

Here is a summary of how parents are described as feeling:

• Profound Grief and Despair: For parents whose children have been taken, there is an unimaginable sense of loss, akin to a kidnapping. They are living with constant uncertainty about their child’s safety, location, and well-being. The knowledge that their child’s identity is being systematically erased adds to the emotional trauma.
• Anger and Powerlessness: Many parents feel a profound sense of outrage and helplessness. They are often unable to cross military lines or navigate bureaucratic hurdles to find their children. The feeling of not being able to protect their child from a government’s actions is a source of immense anguish.
• Resilience and Hope: Despite the trauma, there are also countless stories of incredible resilience. Parents are engaging in a relentless search, often at great personal risk, to find and bring their children home. They form groups, work with volunteers, and use every resource at their disposal. The hope of reunification is what drives them forward.
• Widespread Mental Health Impact: Psychologists and aid groups report that Ukrainian parents are experiencing high rates of trauma-related symptoms, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). They are not only dealing with the fear for their children, but also with the daily stresses of war, displacement, and economic hardship.

In essence, their feelings are a mix of deep sorrow and powerful determination. They are carrying a burden that no parent should ever have to bear, but their love and unwavering resolve to find their children is a testament to the human spirit.

Is this why Putin wants Ukraine?
