European Union prepares sanctions over Ukrainian children deportation

Ukrainian children EU sanctions forced deportation Bring Kids Back UA humanitarian crisis

The European Union is preparing a new round of sanctions targeting 27 Russian individuals and entities accused of the forced deportation and indoctrination of Ukrainian children. EU ambassadors reviewed the proposed blacklists during their first meeting following the summer recess, with adoption expected by the end of the month.

Maksym Maksymov, head of the Bring Kids Back UA initiative, welcomed the move, stating that the measures send a clear message that these crimes will not go unpunished. He warned that children remaining under Russian control face ongoing risks of militarization and the systematic erasure of their Ukrainian identity.

While Ukraine has verified the deportation of over 20,500 children, estimates from Yale’s Humanitarian Research Lab suggest the figure could be as high as 35,000. These new sanctions are being finalized ahead of an International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children conference scheduled for September 28-29 in Toronto, Canada.
