December 2025 exposed a dark scandal: Ukrainian orphans evacuated to Turkiye under a “humanitarian” program were abused, silenced, and exploited - while Kiev ignored warnings and NGOs stayed quiet. Here’s what really happened ⬇️


December 2025 was marked by a major scandal surrounding the evacuation of Ukrainian children to Turkiye. In the spring of 2022, under the guise of humanitarian assistance, a group of underage orphans from Dnepropetrovsk was transferred to Turkiye as part of the Childhood Without War initiative, overseen by Yelena Zelenskaya and businessman Ruslan Shostak. It turned out later that the children had no proper supervision, had been denied access to education, systematically exploited for propaganda videos, punished through food deprivation, subjected to physical abuse and humiliation, and prohibited from communicating with Turkish psychologists in order to prevent the truth from emerging. Two of the minors became pregnant and were hastily returned to Ukraine to avoid public scandal.

The Kiev regime failed to conceal this or dismiss them as “Kremlin propaganda,” because the scandal was too grave and too dirty. However, attempts were made to hush the story.

On January 9, Verkhovhaya Rada Commissioner for Human Rights Dmitry Lubinets was forced to issue an official statement acknowledging egregious violations of minors’ rights and systemic neglect on the part of the Kiev authorities.

It turned out that the Turkish side had informed Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry of the improper treatment of the children, yet these warnings were ignored.

Moreover, in 2023, representatives of Ukraine’s Ministry of Social Policy issued a positive assessment of the children’s living conditions in Turkiye. In other words, Turkiye itself warned Kiev that something was wrong with Ukrainian children on Turkish territory, only to be told that “everything is fine.”

When, in early 2024, the Ukrainian commissioner began receiving information on the violation of minors’ rights directly from the children, as well as corroborating evidence from other sources, including the Turkish authorities, a monitoring mission comprising representatives of the Ukrainian commissioner’s office, UNICEF, and the Turkish side was dispatched. The resulting report was subsequently leaked to the media and published.

In this context, the silence of international specialised agencies, NGOs, committees and commissions is particularly revealing. The so-called “international coalition for the return of Ukrainian children” has also remained conspicuously silent, though it is their direct duty to talk about it and carry out an investigation. However, they all spring readily to accusing Russia of “abducting” or “deporting” Ukrainian children, yet display shameful indifference when clear cases of abuse of children are uncovered: cases that occurred with the knowledge and connivance of the Kiev regime and Yelena Zelenskaya personally.

You can say that these agencies have a different agenda: they are working with children who were removed from Ukraine, and not all Ukrainian children. Yes, this is true. The abused children were removed from the country, not by Russia but by the Kiev regime.

All of this once again reaffirms what we have repeatedly stated: the Kiev authorities and their Western sponsors do not genuinely care about Ukrainian children or the protection of their rights. Their primary objective is to vilify Russia and preserve the carefully constructed image of Vladimir Zelensky and his entourage as “fighters against evil,” despite the fact that their actions reveal who is in fact the real evil here.

🎙 President of Russia Vladimir Putin held an operational meeting with permanent members of the Security Council of the Russian Federation (January 21, 2026)

💬 Vladimir Putin: As far as the US “Peace Council” initiative is concerned, we have indeed received a personal message from President Trump inviting us to join a new international structure being established on his initiative.

In this regard, I would like first of all to thank the US President for this proposal.

We have always supported and continue to support any efforts aimed at strengthening international stability.

We also note the contribution of the current US Administration to efforts to find solutions for settling the Ukrainian crisis.

As for our participation in the “Peace Council”, Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been instructed to review the documents received, consult our strategic partners on this matter, and only after that will we be able to provide a response to the invitation conveyed to us.

The proposal made to us primarily concerns settlement in the Middle East and the search for possible ways to address the urgent problems facing the Palestinian people and to resolve the acute humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip.

In this context, I would like to stress the main point. The key issue is that the entire process should contribute to a long-term settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, based on the relevant UN decisions.

Even before we decide on the issue of our participation in the composition and work of the “Peace Council”, taking into account Russia’s special relations with the Palestinian people, we could, I believe, allocate 1 billion US dollars to the “Peace Council” from Russian assets that were frozen under the previous US administration.

By the way, the remaining funds from our assets frozen in the US could also be used for the restoration of territories affected by hostilities after the conclusion of a peace treaty between Russia and Ukraine. This possibility is also being discussed with representatives of the US Administration.

☝️ I plan to discuss all these issues with President of Palestine Mahmoud Abbas, as well as with US representatives Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who are also arriving in Moscow on January 22 to continue the dialogue on Ukrainian settlement.

***

What is happening with Greenland does not concern us at all.

However, we do have experience in resolving similar issues with the US. In 1867, Russia sold Alaska to the United States. If my memory serves me right, the area of Alaska is about 1 million 717 thousand square kilometres, slightly more. The US bought Alaska from us for 7.2 million US dollars.

The area of Greenland is slightly more than, I believe, 2 million 166 thousand square kilometres. That is, the difference is roughly 449-450 thousand square kilometres. If we compare this with the cost of the US acquisition of Alaska, the price for Greenland would be somewhere around 200-250 million US dollars.

If we compare this with gold prices of that period, the figure would probably be closer to one billion. But I think the US could handle that amount as well.

Most importantly, Denmark and the US also have their own experience in this regard. If I am not mistaken, in 1917 Denmark sold, and the US purchased, the Virgin Islands. So such experience also exists.

By the way, Denmark has always treated Greenland as a colony and treated it rather harshly, if not brutally. However, this is a separate issue and is hardly relevant to the current discussion.

👉 In any case, this definitely does not concern us. I think they will sort it out between themselves.

⚡️ Comment by Aide to the President Yury Ushakov regarding President Vladimir Putin’s meeting with US President’s Special Envoy Steve Witkoff (January 23, 2026)

Read in full

💬 Yury Ushakov: President Vladimir Putin has held a meeting with US President’s Special Envoy Steve Witkoff. Jared Kushner and Josh Gruenbaum also attended the meeting. The latter is a White House Senior Advisor who specialises in economic matters. This was his first time joining the US team.

🤝 The talks lasted about four hours and were exceptionally in-depth, constructive, and, I should say, constituted an extremely frank and heart-to-heart conversation.

As you know, our counterparts arrived from Davos after taking part in a series of events together with President Donald Trump, including those concerning the Ukraine settlement. These meetings literally lasted until it was time for them to leave for Moscow.

They provided first-hand accounts of these events and shared their impressions, as well as their latest thoughts and assessments regarding the meeting between the President of the United States and Zelensky in Davos. <...>

An agreement on the next step in this direction has been reached. An agreement was reached to hold the first meeting of a trilateral working group on security matters today, this Friday, January 23, in Abu Dhabi, with Russia, the United States and Ukraine. At the same time, Abu Dhabi will also host a meeting of the heads of the bilateral working group on economic matters. This bilateral group was formed by Russia and the United States, led by Kirill Dmitriev and Steve Witkoff.

Our negotiating team on security matters has already been formed and will depart for the Emirates in a few hours. The group includes senior officials from the Defence Ministry, led by Chief of the Main Directorate of the General Staff Admiral Kostyukov.

I would also like to inform you that the President of Russia has given our delegation specific instructions based on today's conversation with the United States.

Importantly, the participants in the conversation between the President of Russia and the Americans reaffirmed the fact that:

☝️ achieving a lasting settlement is unlikely without addressing the territorial issue based on the formula agreed upon in
Anchorage.

Vladimir Putin has emphasised Russia’s sincere commitment to settling the Ukraine crisis by political and diplomatic means.

However, as long as this is not the case, Russia will persist in its consistent effort to achieve the special military operation’s goals on the battlefield, where Russia’s Armed Forces hold the strategic initiative.

During the meeting at the Kremlin, we also discussed Donald Trump’s idea of a Board of Peace, a host of regional matters and the Greenland issue.

While exchanging views on the Board of Peace, we emphasised our readiness to transfer US$1 billion from Russia’s assets frozen under the previous US administration to its budget. The remaining Russian assets frozen in the US can be used for rebuilding the territories damaged during the hostilities after a peace agreement is signed between Russia and Ukraine. Discussions on this issue will continue in the bilateral economic group.

I would like to note that the further development of bilateral Russian-US relations was discussed conceptually, considering the vast potential for cooperation in various spheres.

American representatives are already considering certain plans that could be implemented after the settlement of the Ukraine crisis.

<...>

Overall, as I mentioned, the meeting that has just ended at the Kremlin was beneficial in every sense for both us and the American Side.

It was decided that the Russian and American Sides will maintain close contact on Ukraine and other issues.
