TL;DR Summary

Ukrainian families are accusing Russia of kidnapping and indoctrinating Ukrainian children amidst the ongoing conflict. The Ukrainian government has documented over 19,000 cases of children taken by Russia, but the actual number could be closer to 300,000. The International Criminal Court has charged Russian President Vladimir Putin and his commissioner for children's rights with war crimes. Ukrainian nonprofit organization "Save Ukraine" has rescued over 200 children, providing shelter and support for reunited families. Russia's alleged goal is to erase Ukrainian identity and brainwash the children, while some Ukrainian children have reported being forced to sing the Russian national anthem and facing punishment for expressing their Ukrainian identity.
