Lithuania: Belaruskali may be involved in kidnapping of Ukrainian children
July 4, BPN. The Lithuanian foreign minister has said that Belaruskali’s trading company may be involved in an operation “to kidnap children from Ukraine” because it owns sanatoriums in Belarus where they are held.
According to LRT, Gabrielius Landsbergis said that he had shared information about the potash company’s role with his country’s prosecutors and also with the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Last month, the Warsaw-based National Anti-Crisis Management (NAM) said it had submitted evidence of Alaksandr Łukašenka’s alleged war crimes to the ICC, accusing him of the illegal transfer of Ukrainian children from the Russian-occupied territories and their indoctrination.
The evidence also implicates Union State Secretary Dmitry Mezentsev, Belaruskali CEO Ivan Hałavaty, Donetsk’s public figure Olga Volkova, and Paralympic athlete Alaksiej Tałaj, a motivational speaker.
According to the Belarusian opposition group, over 2,100 children have been transferred to Belarus.
Łukašenka dismissed the accusations as insane and presented it as a humanitarian action, not a crime.
