Russia is violating the 'fundamental principles of child protection' in wartime by giving Ukrainian children Russian passports and putting them up for adoption, the UNHCR chief told Reuters in an interview
KYIV, Jan 27 - Russia is violating the "fundamental principles of child protection" in wartime by giving Ukrainian children Russian passports and putting them up for adoption, the U.N.'s refugee agency chief told Reuters in an interview.
Grandi said his agency was unable to estimate the number of children who had been given passports or put up for adoption, as access in Russia was extremely limited. “We have seen returns drop considerably, long or short, in the winter months… coupled with a very slight increase with people getting out of the country,” he said.
