One of the most harrowing chapters of the war has emerged: Russia reportedly plans to send 60,000 kidnapped Ukrainian children to remote camps this summer. Far from being summer retreats, these are re-education centers where children face abuse, starvation, and forced erasure of their Ukrainian identity. Ukrainian officials and human rights groups have condemned the practice as a form of genocide. Children are reportedly brainwashed, told their families abandoned them, and punished for resisting.

They are forced to sing the Russian anthem and are forbidden to speak Ukrainian. Stories from survivors like 16-year-old Vitali and 11-year-old Ilia reveal the harsh reality—daily drills, psychological manipulation, and cruel punishments. These children, some taken from their homes, others from occupied territories, are isolated and silenced. Ukraine estimates 1.6 million children are under Russian control. Officials insist peace is impossible without their return. The world must act—these children deserve freedom, identity, and a future.
