More than a dozen former Ronald Reagan staff members have joined dozens of other Republican figures endorsing the Democratic nominee and vice-president, Kamala Harris, saying their support was “less about supporting the Democratic party and more about our resounding support for democracy”.
They were children abandoned in a war zone. Russia needs to do something about keeping them fed, housed, and clothed. If it didn’t, then it would still be getting accused of genocide, though in that case with more reason! Furthermore, Russia clearly and demonstrably is cooperating with humanitarian organizations to reunite families, and many have been reunited already. The accusation is alarmist nonsense from the perpetual self-proclaimed ethnic victims to justify their fascist cult to literal perpetrators of the Holocaust.
Rescuing them isn’t the issue. Plenty of NATO nations are providing amnesty to Ukrainian refugees.
The difference here is adoption. There are no intentions to return these children to Ukraine after the invasion.
In March 2023, the International Criminal Court issued warrants, opens new tab for the arrest of President Vladimir Putin and children’s commissioner Maria Lvova-Belova on war crimes charges related to the abduction of Ukrainian children.
Aside from the ICC notoriously being an American running-dog, charges are not convictions. We’ve already seen Russia cooperate with returning children, we can’t say that there’s no intention of it.
