European Parliament adopts resolution on Ukrainian children under occupation and those deported to Russia

Deputy Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada Olena Kondratiuk reported this on Facebook , according to Ukrinform. "The European Parliament has just voted in favor of the resolution entitled 'Ukrainian children forcibly deported to Russia or living in Russian-occupied territories in Ukraine.' "Some 536 MEPs voted in favor. Only eight voted against, while 37 abstained," she wrote. Kondratiuk noted that the key change introduced by the new European Parliament resolution is a shift in the approach to Russia's crimes against Ukrainian children. She said the focus is now not only on deported children but also on the 1.6 million Ukrainian children who remain under occupation.
