Congressional resolution to condemn Russia for taking Ukrainian children

Ukrainian Ambassador Oksana Markarova pins a blue and yellow angel on the lapel of Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) while speaking with Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) before a press conference condemning Russia for kidnapping Ukrainian children. Russia has taken thousands of children from their parents since Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine in February, 2022. Some of those children have been adopted by Russians while others have been sent for “re-education,” to erase their Ukrainian identity, operations that led the International Criminal Court to charge Vladimir Putin with war crimes in late 2022.
