US provides $25 million for return of Ukrainian children deported to Russian-controlled territories
The $25 million funding supports tracking and rehabilitation efforts for up to 300,000 abducted Ukrainian children, aiding diplomatic and care initiatives, the U.S. State Department said.
- On Thursday, the U.S. Department of State announced $25 million in new funding to identify, return, and rehabilitate Ukrainian children forcibly abducted by Russia.
- Since Moscow's February 2022 invasion, Ukraine's 'Children of War' database has documented 20,000 abducted minors, though officials estimate the actual figure could reach 300,000, with fewer than 2,000 returned to their families.
- The Department will allocate grants to U.S. non-profits to 'assist reliable partners' with tracking, while also supporting the 'Ukrainian government and trusted local partners' in providing rehabilitation services to children who have returned.
- First Lady Melania Trump has made this issue a central focus of her humanitarian agenda, while the International Criminal Court previously issued arrest warrants for Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding the unlawful deportations.
