Ombudsman of Ukraine Dmytro Lubinetsaccused Russia this Thursday of sending “kidnapped” Ukrainian children to camps in North Korea to be “Russified and militarized”, within the framework of its war against kyiv and the growing military rapprochement between Moscow and Pyongyang.
“The Regional Center for Human Rights reported that they have identified 165 camps where Ukrainian children are being Russified and militarized. They are located in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, and even North Korea!“wrote the person responsible on the social network X.
Lubinets’ words come after Kateryna Rashevska, a legal expert at the Regional Center for Human Rights (a Ukrainian NGO), stated this Wednesday during a session in the United States Senate that at least two Ukrainian minors deported by Russia have ended up in the “Songdowon camp in North Korea.”
According to the South Korean news agency Yonhap, it could be the Songdowon International Children’s Camp, a popular summer camp for children located in the coastal city of Wonsan.

The minors, identified as Misha, 12, and Liza, 16“they learned how to destroy ‘the Japanese militarists’ and met Korean veterans who, in 1968, attacked the US Navy ship Pueblo,” according to the report presented by Rashevska to US senators.
Ukraine denounces that thousands of minors have been deported from territories occupied since the beginning of the Russian invasion. According to data managed by kyiv, more than 19,000 children have been identified as forcibly transferred.
The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution this Wednesday that requires Russia to return Ukrainian children forcibly transferred or deported to its territory, in addition to ceasing these practices and the “change of status” of minors.
The resolution was presented at an emergency meeting by the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Mariana Betsawho denounced that Ukrainian children are seen by Russia as “war trophies”and was approved with 91 votes in favor, 12 against and 57 abstentions.
Despite not being binding, the political declaration showed broad international support for the measure, surpassing the two-thirds majority of the members present with voting power.
