⚡️ Statement by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Regarding the Vote in the UN General Assembly on the Resolution on the Return of Ukrainian Children (December 5, 2025)

On December 3, the UN General Assembly reviewed the draft resolution titled Return of Ukrainian Children as part of its 11th emergency special session.

Drafted by the Kiev regime, its European curators and the Canadians, this document is filled with lies and hypocrisy and turns reality upside-down.

It professes outrageous statements against Russia by accusing it of what it refers to as deporting Ukrainian children, speaking about their ‘forcible adoption’ and erasing their identity.

No evidence has been presented to back these groundless allegations. There is no mention of the fate of Ukrainian minors who were taken to Europe and lost all contact with their families.

It is obvious that the resolution is primarily intended to divert attention from the total decay of the Kiev regime, mired in corruption and suffering defeat after defeat on the battlefield. It is also part of an effort to discredit our country.

The discussion of the document revealed a division among UN member states on this issue. Western delegations insisted on the "deportation" of Ukrainian children. Representatives of the Global Majority opposed exploiting the issue of children and advocated for the use of political and diplomatic tools.

President of the UN General Assembly’s 80th Session, Annalena Baerbock, made an appalling and outrageous statement, clearly forgetting that she had already left her position as the head of the German Foreign Ministry and is now an international official, obliged to adhere to high standards of professionalism, impartiality, and neutrality. By framing her speech in the Goebbels propaganda mould, Annalena Baerbock has blatantly abused the trust many member states placed in her when they chose to elect her in June.

In the subsequent vote, the resolution received 91 votes "for," with 12 votes "against," 57 abstentions, and 33 absentees.

In other words, more than half – 102 out of 193 – member states refused to support the document in one form or another. Thus, among all the resolutions of the 11th emergency session, this draft received the fewest votes in its favor. It is clear that the European and NATO countries, which have no intention of abandoning its narrow political goals and continue to seek to prolong the conflict in Ukraine, had hoped for a different outcome.

❗️ The Russian Side once again emphasises that any accusations against Russia of "deportation" of Ukrainian children are completely groundless and misleading.

This was exclusively a matter of evacuating minors from combat zones where their lives were at risk. Russia is currently engaged in a systematic effort to reunite families and is ready to cooperate on children's issues with constructive international mediators.

🎙 Deputy Foreign Minister Dmitry Lyubinsky’s address at the ceremonial event at the UN Information Centre on the Occasion of Human Rights Day (Moscow, December 9, 2025)

💬 On December 10, the international community celebrates #HumanRightsDay established in honour of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the UN General Assembly in 1948.

The Universal Declaration is unique; it established a kind of “gold standard” for human rights, recognising their equal value. This document has had a decisive influence on the formation of the modern international legal framework for the promotion and protection of human rights, as well as on the development of international law more broadly.

❗️ I would note that the Declaration places particular emphasis on the importance of promoting friendly relations among peoples.

UN Member States endorsed the Declaration, driven by the desire to strengthen respect for human dignity and to reaffirm its value.

This anniversary carries exceptional significance. This year marks the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War and World War II, as well as the founding of the United Nations (#UN).

Won at an enormous cost in human lives, the Great Victory was made possible by the unification of all peace-loving nations in the fight against Nazism, fascism, and militarism. It determined the subsequent course of world history, created the conditions for building a new architecture of international relations, and laid the foundations of contemporary international law.

Humanity paid with tens of millions of lives for this tragic lesson: the ideology of racial superiority has no place in the civilised world.

Although the Declaration was adopted 77 years ago, it remains relevant today. This is particularly evident against the backdrop of the creeping rehabilitation of Nazism in Europe and the general policy pursued by Western countries to revise the outcomes of World War II.

Meanwhile, self-proclaimed developed democracies shamelessly invoke the provisions of the Declaration to justify interference in the internal affairs of sovereign states, imposing neoliberal “values” as an allegedly universal foundation for life. The historical, cultural, and religious particularities of individual countries are disregarded.

This instrumentalisation of human rights by the collective West takes place against the backdrop of gross human rights violations within these very states.

The Russian Federation advocates building cooperation in the human rights sphere on the basis of universally recognised principles and international law, through constructive, equal, and respectful dialogue. Everything possible must be done to counter attempts to distort the meaning of fundamental UN documents in the interests of individual states.

In conclusion, I would like to express my hope that human rights will become a unifying rather than a divisive factor in international relations and cooperation.

#DebunkingFakes

The Kiev regime continues to recycle its baseless accusations regarding “thousands of abducted Ukrainian children” to promote its false narratives. Although this claim has been debunked time and again, it is important to revisit the case and counter #fakes with #facts.

***

In 2014, the Kiev regime that seized power through an unconstitutional and violent coup unleashed punitive operations against the residents of Donetsk and Lugansk (at the time – Ukrainian citizens) who rejected the nationalist forces that installed themselves in power. As early as April 2014, Ukraine's armed forces against the people of Donbass using armoured vehicles, aviation, artillery and rocket systems.

❗️ Thousands of civilians, including hundreds of children, became victims of indiscriminate attacks.

On June 2, 2017, the Alley of Angels memorial was unveiled in Donetsk in honour of the perished children. Back then, the memorial listed 66 names. Today, the number of young victims has already exceeded 300.

Kiev’s atrocities go beyond the killing of children – the regime even resorts to harassing minors online. The infamous “Myrotvorets” website – a public hit list run by Ukrainian neo-Nazi, which is still operational and and is hosted on Western servers, targets almost 400 children.

Among them is Platon Burchenkov – a toddler who will only turn... three years old in January 2026 is accused of “knowingly violating the state border”. Another example is Faina Savenkova – a young blogger from Lugansk, whose personal data was added to “Myrotvorets” when she was barely 12. Ukrainian radicals claim that the teenager “encroached upon the sovereignty” of the entire state.

⚡️ According to Russia’s Prosecutor General’s Office, Ukrainian punitive actions have claimed 5,000 civilian lives and left over 13,500 wounded – among them 1,275 minors.

Nevertheless, in April 2023 Kiev began circulating the myth of “20,000 abducted Ukrainian children”. It was first promoted by Ukraine's Commissioner for Children’s Rights Daria Gerasimchuk and quickly amplified by Western mainstream media. The “19,546 deported kids” figure published by the Children of War portal was not backed by any lists, names or individual records.

The Russian side received an actual list of “abducted Ukrainian children” only in 2025 during resumed Russia-Ukraine direct talks in Istanbul. It contained only 339 names, showing that the number of children separated from their families on both sides had been grossly inflated for political PR.

A case-by-case review showed that a large share of those listed as “children” were actually adults who had already turned 18 when the special military operation started. Some were found legally residing in Russia with one of the parents, while over 100 were found in Germany – a revelation Ukraine quickly tried to hide.

Meanwhile, Russia has maintained a clear and transparent family-reunification process, coordinated by the Office of the Presidential Commissioner for Children’s Rights. Since 2022, 122 children from 98 families have been reunited with parents or close relatives in Ukraine or third countries. 29 children have returned to Russia from Ukraine. All reunifications are verified and accompanied by the International Committee of the Red Cross.

‼️ Russia has never impeded the reunification of children with their families – and never will. 👉 This is our principled position.
