European Parliament passes resolution demanding return of Ukrainian children abducted by Russia
- On May 8, 2025, the European Parliament passed a resolution condemning Russia's deportation and Russification of abducted Ukrainian children and demanding their unconditional return.
- This resolution follows documented reports since 2014 that Russia has forcibly relocated over 20,000 Ukrainian children from occupied regions, many subjected to military indoctrination and adoption.
- Russian authorities enroll minors in movements like Yunarmia, training them in military skills and anti-Ukrainian ideology while stripping them of cultural identity through reeducation and citizenship changes.
- The resolution was approved by an overwhelming majority, with only three opposing votes and 34 abstentions, condemning Russia's actions as a "genocidal strategy" that breaches international humanitarian law, including the Geneva Conventions.
- The resolution urges EU institutions to support Ukraine's efforts to locate, repatriate abducted children, hold Russia accountable, and include children’s return in any future peace agreement.
