December 4, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Belarus voted against a United Nations General Assembly document demanding<\/a> that Russia return Ukrainian children forcefully displaced since early 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The resolution calls on Russia to ensure the immediate, safe and unconditional return of all Ukrainian children who have been forcibly transferred or deported. It also urges Moscow “to cease, without delay, any further practice of forcible transfer, deportation, separation from families and legal guardians, change of personal status, including through citizenship, adoption or placement in foster families and indoctrination of Ukrainian children.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belarus is not mentioned in the document, although some children from Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine were brought to Belarus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The document was adopted with 91 votes in favor and 12 against. Alongside Belarus and Russia, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cuba, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Iran, Mali, Niger, Nicaragua, Sudan and Eritrea also voted against it. Fifty-seven states abstained, including Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 3,500 Ukrainian children from Russian-held Ukrainian regions were deported to Belarus, where they were subjected to military training and indoctrination, according to the Belarusian opposition politician Pavie\u0142 \u0141atu\u0161ka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His Warsaw-based National Anti-Crisis Management keeps collecting evidence on forced transfers for the International Criminal Court (ICC), which earlier issued arrest warrants for Russian President Vladimir Putin and his children\u2019s rights commissioner, Maria Lvova-Belova, over the alleged deportation of Ukrainian children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
