Volodymyr Zelensky has accused Russia of abducting Ukrainian children and training them to fight against their own country. In an interview with CBS’s Face the Nation on 31 May, the Ukrainian president claimed that children taken to Russia were being taught to hate their native country. “They taught these children to hate their native country, to hate native people. And Ukrainians, can you imagine, such young Ukrainians, young boys, come to the battlefield and kill Ukrainians,” he said. Thousands of children are estimated to have been forcibly taken to Russia. Zelensky is looking to revive talks on securing peace with Russia before the onset of winter.

This is the first time Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has made this accusation, which may constitute a war crime.
