"Very often, children are punished for refusing to speak Russian, refuse to learn and sing the Russian anthem, get up during the anthem. Almost all children indicate that they have been put on psychological pressure, they are called Ukrainian differently for being Ukrainian. There are even children who testify that they were beaten for such disobedience, ”Gerasimchuk said.

Gerasimchuk also added that some children had even photo confirmations, but when the Russian side passed them to their parents, she forced all photos and videos. Hundreds of children who were more difficult to return to their parents were told about violent actions and tried to transfer notes from other children, about the fact of which in the territory of the Russian Federation the department did not even know. According to her, the department now has information about more than 19.

5 thousands of Ukrainian children "upon the appeal of local authorities, and after the appeal of relatives, relatives, parents and witnesses of deportation or forced movement of the child", which was deported to the Russian Federation. However, 19. 5 thousand is not the final figure. The calculation of deported children is complicated in particular that some of them were transported not to Russia, but to the occupied territories of Ukraine, which are now not controlled by the Ukrainian authorities.

The Commissioner for the Rights of the Child also informed that according to witnesses, before the deportation to the Russian Federation, children are "sorted", and after their movement - they are put psychological pressure on them, beaten and forcibly forced to study Russian culture. "Russians want to just replenish their nation with the help of our children. with health, "Gerasimchuk said.
