Russia has flatly rejected allegations that it has deported Ukrainian children since its invasion but said that more than 700,000 have moved into its territory. Russian representatives made the claim on January 23 before the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child, which questioned Russia as part of a regular review. Independent experts on the committee pressed Moscow on how many children have been affected, where they have been sent to, and for what reasons. Ukraine has said that 20,000 children have been forced to move to Russia since the start of the war.
