“While Kremlin officials argue that they are “saving” the children by removing them from their homes, international watchdogs have called the forcible removal of Ukrainian kids — including infants as young as four months old — a war crime.”

    Look, they gotta replace the last batch of kids they just sent in to the meat grinder some how…

    Also, probably a tactic of ethnic cleansing, physically remove the next generation from an area and you basically guarantee an end to a group of people there in a few decades.

    Potentially also a hostage tactic, like, all those kids could certainly be a bargaining chip in negotiations at the end of the war.

    All and all, pretty fucked, and further proof that the current Russian government is beyond rotten to the core. The current Russian government is clearly not one that can be treated as anything but a criminal terrorist state.

      It wouldn’t surprise me if Putin was a pedophile; he’s got that “I destroy lives for my personal desires” kinda vibe ya know?
