    A new book titled 'Stolen Childhood' by Russian journalist Nina Nazorova and her Ukrainian colleague Svyatoslav Khomenko reveals how thousands of Ukrainian children have ended up in Russia since the start of the full-scale war in 2022. Some fled combat zones, others were taken under false pretenses, and some were sent to Russian camps but couldn't return. The Russian state exploited this situation, placing children in new families and issuing them new passports. The International Criminal Court in The Hague recognized this as a war crime in 2023. The book details four family stories and efforts to return the children home.
