deportation

Ukraine has returned 11 children, the youngest just 16 months old, from Russian-occupied parts of Kherson Oblast, where some were forced to undergo weapons and combat drone training or faced threats of separation from their families, regional officials said on Oct. 12.

The United Kingdom imposed sanctions on 85 Russians, 29 of whom are connected to the forced abduction, ideological indoctrination, and militarization of Ukrainian children, the British government announced on its official website.
