Putin and Ukraine's Stolen Children

Documents seen by 主播大秀 Panorama indicate that an ally of Russia鈥檚 president has illegally adopted a child abducted from Ukraine.

The Ukrainian government says thousands of children have been taken unlawfully to Russia since the start of the war. The International Criminal Court has already issued a warrant for President Putin鈥檚 arrest for the alleged illegal deportations.

Now, documents uncovered by 主播大秀 Panorama indicate that a political ally of Vladimir Putin has adopted a girl taken from a Ukrainian children鈥檚 home. Margarita was removed from the city of Kherson in September 2022, when it was under Russian occupation - and she wasn't the only one.
