Mark Carney and Volodimier Zelanski demanded a global support rally for the return of thousands of Ukrainian children kidnapped by Russia, an issue that can be echoed with the US administration, even pulls back to financial and military aids for Ukraine.
Leaders of Canada and Ukraine co-conquered a program on the banks of the United Nations General Assembly, focusing on about 20,000 children forcibly removed by Russia. The case has earlier attracted the attention of First Lady Melania Trump, who wrote a letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin in August, urging to end the war for the safety of the affected children.
Carney said in a comment on Tuesday, “Putin has stolen your children.” “Every parents have a bad dream to lose your child. For the people of Ukraine, this is a terrible reality.”
The Canadian Prime Minister said that Russia has targeted people living in unsafe children such as orphans or poverty, and its troops have also banned classes and have scored them.
Russia is facing allegations of starting this practice when the war began in 2014 and increased the kidnapping after its full -scale invasion in 2022. Some children were forcibly separated from their parents, while others were taken away after their careful or catching. Nevertheless, other people were confiscated from state institutions. They have been transferred to Russia or occupied parts of Ukraine.
The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Russian President Vladimir Putin and children’s Rights Commissioner Maria Loveova-Belova, alleging war crimes. Some children have said that they were subject to Russian publicity and malnutrition while living in the country.
The Canadian government said in a background document, “Russia has sought to erase the Ukrainian identity of these children by restricting its access to Ukrainian language and history, implementing Russian citizenship and limiting access to alternative sources of information.”
Russia denies that it kidnaps Ukrainian children. Vladimir Medinski, who led the Russian delegation talks with Ukrainian in Turkey in June, when both sides discussed the issue, accused Ukraine of “making a show for merciful Europeans” and said Russia was returning children when his families were found.
Canada and Ukraine have co-headed the international coalition for the return of Ukrainian children since 2024, and say some 1,300 children have been brought back to their domestic nation. Canada believes that this issue of “Fundamental Human Rights” should be at the forefront of the international agenda, and it appreciates the “leadership” of the US First Lady on the matter and the “engagement” of Donald Trump, a government official told reporters at a background briefing.
In his comment, Carney welcomed the “transformative leadership” of the US President for Putin’s “powerful appeal” and new possibilities for peace.
Nevertheless, the Trump administration cut funds for a US-based program, tracking thousands of kidnapped Ukrainian children. A Yale University laboratory which was part of the program-and received some personal donations after the funding cut-recently published a study that found Russia to features Ukrainian children in the facilities where they were again subjected to education and military training.
Carney’s wife, Diana Fox Carney, and Ukraine’s first woman Olena Zelancesa were also ready to speak at the event with many European ministers and heads of the state.
