The Ukrainian government says #Russia has illegally deported more than 16,000 #children to Russian territory since 2014, a practice that intensified after Russia's full-scale invasion of #Ukraine a year ago. Not all children are taken by force, but evidence is mounting of a coordinated effort to indoctrinate Ukrainian children and send them to Russian foster families. In the southern city of Kherson, witnesses say Russian forces took children from at least two orphanages as they pulled out of the city last November. But thanks to the bravery of locals, some children were saved from #deportation. FRANCE 24's Elena Volochine, Andrew Hilliar, Abdelkader Dermas and Olga Ivashchenko report.
