The National Anti-Crisis Management continues to document the facts of the illegal transfer of Ukrainian children from the occupied territories of Ukraine to Belarus and their subsequent indoctrination in Belarus.
Over the past month, the NAM has gathered and documented additional data on the timing and locations of Ukrainian children’s transfers from the so-called “Luhansk and Donetsk People’s Republics” to Belarus in 2023 and 2024. This effort is part of the ongoing documentation process of war crimes committed by Lukashenko and his accomplices, initiated by the NAM in April 2023.
Key Results of the Effort:
1. An additional eight arrivals of groups of children from temporarily occupied regions of Ukraine to Belarus have been identified, covering the period from April 2023 to September 2024. The information and details of these transfers have been meticulously documented.
2. The document prepared by the NAU’s legal team includes:
Dates and locations of the children’s stays during the specified period;
Circumstances and reasons for their relocation;
The program of activities they were engaged in while in Belarus;
Sources used to verify data (photos, videos, documents).
Furthermore, efforts are underway to identify and gather information about employees of the Alexey Talai Charitable Foundation, who are actively involved in the war crime of illegally transferring Ukrainian children from occupied regions of Ukraine to Belarus. Special attention is being paid to uncovering funding channels and the organizational structure behind the children’s relocation to ensure the legal accountability of all involved parties. The collected data will be submitted to national and international justice bodies.
“We will continue our efforts to hold Lukashenko and his accomplices accountable for their crimes on multiple fronts, and the illegal transfer of Ukrainian children — constituting a war crime — is one of these. We will keep gathering additional evidence to supplement the two communications on this crime by the Lukashenko regime that we previously submitted to the International Criminal Court in 2023,” stated Pavel Latushka, Deputy Head of the United Transitional Cabinet and head of the NAM.
