Cyber specialists of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine have obtained new evidence of the mass abduction of Ukrainian children by russian occupiers from temporarily occupied territories.

As part of a large-scale cyber operation, DIU specialists accessed the servers of the so-called "government of Crimea." These servers contained documents confirming the forced relocation of children from the occupied regions of Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, and Luhansk.

The intercepted data includes thousands of lists of deported children, profiles of abducted minors who were left without guardianship, unlawful decisions on assigning russian citizens as new guardians for these children, as well as addresses of the locations where the children were resettled.

"Thousands of files containing crucial evidence of one of russia's largest war crimes — the abduction of Ukrainian children — have already been handed over to law enforcement. They will be reviewed and added to ongoing criminal cases. This information will help locate and return abducted children to Ukraine and hold all perpetrators accountable," said Andrii Yusov, spokesperson for the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine.

DIU reminds that every crime committed against the people of Ukraine will be met with rightful justice.
