For illegal adoption: Investigation against the Ombudsman of the Russian Federation will begin in Ukraine
In this regard, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs asks law enforcement agencies to initiate criminal proceedings against Lviv-Belova. The diplomatic department replied that Lviv-Belova declared not only about the adoption of her by a child stolen by the Russian army from Mariupol, but also in the adoption of about 350 children from the captured regions of Donbass.
In this regard, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs states that these actions grossly violate not only Ukrainian legislation, but also the Geneva Convention "On Protection of Civilian Population during the War" from 1949, which provides for the obligation of the occupying state not to change the civic status of children and The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child since 1989.
"On the instructions of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dmitry Kuleba of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine initiates a violation of the case against the Russian citizen of Lviv-Belova, whose actions are seen signs of a criminal offense," the Ministry's statement reads. Finally, it is said that Ukraine will continue to make every effort to ensure that Ukrainian children, illegally exported from the occupied territories, have returned to their parents or legal guardians.
We will remind that Maria Lviv-Belova in September during a briefing confessed that Ukrainian children from the occupied territories were brought to the Russian Federation, where they pass "integration" in Russian families. In particular, 30 children exported from Mariupol to the Moscow, one child came to her family.
