Calling for the return of abducted Ukrainian children before finalizing any peace agreement to end the war against Ukraine.

This resolution strongly condemns the Russian Federation's actions, including the abduction, forcible transfer, and illegal deportation of Ukrainian children. It highlights that Ukrainian authorities have reported over 19,546 confirmed cases of unlawful deportations and forced transfers, with only 1,274 children returned so far. These actions, which include efforts to Russify children and facilitate forced adoptions, are seen as an attempt to erase Ukrainian national identity and violate international laws such as the Geneva and Genocide Conventions. The resolution also expresses significant concern that Russia's invasion has dramatically increased the risks for children, exposing them to human trafficking, exploitation, violence, and deprivation. It supports a peaceful and just resolution to the conflict in Ukraine. Crucially, the resolution urges that the return of all Ukrainian children abducted by the Russian Federation must occur before finalizing any peace agreement to end the war.
