The war is going great. 
Yet another horrifying scene which would be plastered all over network news if only it were happening in Russia instead.
It’s not “authoritarianism” if it’s happening in a US ally (or puppet).

Facts versus Russia’s false claims (YYYY-MM-DD) Posted on: 2025-01-15 - Global Affairs Canada
The facts:
In its latest report, Yale Humanitarian Research Laboratories defined Russia’s program of coerced adoption as “the deportation of children from Ukraine and their subsequent placement with citizens of Russia and/or in institutions”, going far beyond temporary humanitarian measures. The Yale research shows the extent to which Russia is systematically removing these children from their homes and concealing their identities, including changing their names, to prevent their repatriation.
The report has identified 314 individual children from Ukraine placed in Russia’s systematic program of coerced adoption. Russia’s system of coerced adoption and fostering has been ordered and facilitated by
Putin and Presidential Commissioner for Children’s Rights Maria Lvova-Belova. Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine is the reason why these children are at risk in the first place.
Russia’s false claim:
Putin has repeatedly claimed that the transfer of Ukrainian children to Russia was done for humanitarian reasons.

The facts:
In temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories, Russia imposes a pro-Russia educational curriculum that suppresses Ukrainian in favour of Russian as the language of instruction. The imposed curriculum includes justifications of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and vilifications of Ukrainian nationhood. Parents of children who use the Ukrainian educational system remotely are threatened with fines, loss of custody, and detention by occupation authorities. Educators who remain loyal to the Ukrainian state are subject to threats and torture. Russian authorities require secondary schools in occupied Ukrainian territory to report the names of students aged 18 and older, deemed eligible to be drafted into the Russian military.
Russia’s false claim:
Putin claims that Russia gives Ukrainians the freedom to choose the future of their children, but the facts show otherwise.

The facts:
Russia coerces residents of the Ukrainian territories it temporarily occupies into getting Russian passports. Credible sources report children aged 13 to 17 being held in detention centers by occupying Russian forces may be transferred to adult prisons when they turn 18 for refusing Russian citizenship. Measures to push Ukrainians to accept Russian citizenship include threatening parental rights, blocking access to social support and restricting access to health care, education and other vital services. Proposed amendments to immigration laws will restrict the entry and ability to remain in Russia for foreigners. These amendments could make it difficult for Ukrainians to enter or remain in the temporarily occupied territories, forcing them to obtain a Russian passport.
Russia’s false claim:
Putin claims that Russia gives Ukrainians the freedom to choose their future.
You are really rabid about this ‘Russia bad’ thing.
This is just hilarious. ‘Everything that my genocidal invasion-happy empire says and assumes is true, and what their designated enemies say is false’. Hell, you literally say that, because your empire’s mouthpieces ‘define’ something a certain way, the usage of that definition reflects reality, and you have done zero thinking about the timeline of events (newsflash, the coup of the Ukrainian government by your empire happened before any sort of military action by Russia, meaning that NATO is the aggressor here).
Also, what adoption is not ‘coerced’? Are you seriously arguing that children should not be adoptable?
