Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said there are catastrophic problems with underage Ukrainian citizens who have been “evacuated” to European Union (EU) countries since the start of the hostilities. She talked about it on her Telegram channel.
According to the diplomat, Ukrainian children in Europe face marginalization “in its various manifestations, up to and including sexual exploitation and sex trafficking”.
Zakharova also noted how, for example, in Germany, juvenile services actively remove children from refugee families, and parents are disenfranchised by the courts. This often happens on a tip from the families with whom the Ukrainians lived, and a simple raise in voice can serve as an excuse.
“Against the backdrop of the catastrophic problems of thousands of underage Ukrainians in EU countries, which are by no means resolved, but are only getting worse every day, the imaginary concern of Euro-Atlanticists about the fate children evacuated by Russia from the war zone looks hypocritical and above all cynical, ”summarized the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
Earlier, Zakharova commented on the unrest in France. The diplomat sneered, wondering when French leader Emmanuel Macron would arm his compatriots to maintain democracy.
