The UN meeting was also a formal kick-off of the UNWLA Return Ukraine’s Children campaign. Chaired by a Soyuzianka and advocate Marta Fedoriw, it aims to raise awareness of another aspect of genocide russia is committing against Ukraine: abduction and relocation of Ukrainian children.
Congresswoman Susan Wild introduced into Congress a resolution to “condemn Russia for the kidnapping of children from Ukraine.” In her statement, read by Martha Fedoriw at the UN stage, she emphasizes that “the Russian objective is clear: To wipe out the young generations of Ukrainians by attempting to eradicate their sense of national and cultural identity.”
