Moscow will be asked to explain at the United Nations on January 22 what has happened to thousands of Ukrainian children believed to have been forcibly sent to Russia since its 2022 invasion of Ukraine. The United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child -- 18 independent experts -- is set to examine Russia's record over two days, as part of a regular review. A list of concerns was sent to Moscow in the first half of 2023. The committee wants to know how many children have been "evacuated" to Russia or to places within Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine.
