Canada is providing $863,000 in new funding as ministers and NGOs meet to expand efforts to return abducted Ukrainian children.

  • On Monday, Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand is co-hosting a two-day global conference in Toronto alongside Norway and Ukraine to advance efforts returning abducted children, detained civilians, and prisoners of war from Russian custody.
  • Ukrainian authorities cite more than 20,651 records of unlawful deportations or forcible transfers of children to Russia since the 2022 invasion, prompting the Trudeau government to launch an international coalition in 2024.
  • The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Russian President Vladimir Putin over unlawful deportations, as returned children reported physical and sexual violence and indoctrination during captivity.
  • During the summit, Anand is scheduled to meet with ministers from Honduras and the United Arab Emirates, where attendees will hear testimony from Ukrainians who survived Russian captivity.
  • Building on 2024 coalition efforts, this second international conference aims to coordinate global pressure to rehabilitate and reintegrate those unlawfully held, requiring sustained cooperation among governments and humanitarian organizations.
