The UN General Assembly passed a resolution telling Russia to send back all the Ukrainian kids who got deported since the war kicked off. The vote landed at 91 for it, 12 against it, and 57 countries sitting on the fence. General Assembly President Annalena Baerbock said Russia is breaking international law, while Russian Ambassador Maria Zabolotskaya called the whole thing lies and claimed it messes with peace talks.
An inquiry commission from the UN documented 31 children getting moved from Ukraine to Russian territory and called it war crimes. The International Criminal Court even issued an arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin over the deportations. Under the Geneva Conventions and the Rome Statute, forcibly transferring kids counts as both a war crime and potentially a genocidal act if done to wipe out a group's identity.
