 Travelling into enemy land to save my stolen child It is a truly shocking story of Ukrainian children removed from their school by armed Russian soldiers and disappearing without a trace for weeks. There was no notice or permission from parents. When the children, who all have special educational needs, were finally allowed to call home, it was from much deeper inside Russian-occupied territory. This one example is part of a much bigger story which takes in the International Criminal Court and the unlawful deportation of Ukrainian children. Russia insists that its motives are purely humanitarian, evacuating children to protect them from danger. The BBC's Sarah Rainsford has spoken to two boys and their mothers about their experiences and the gruelling journeys to bring them home. | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
