| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Journalists from the American newspaper The New York Times (NYT), while investigating the alleged abduction of Kherson children, unexpectedly showed the price of democracy and turned rotten Western propaganda inside out, said Senator from the Kherson region Igor Kastyukevich. The member of the Federation Council recalled the publication in which American journalists talked about the fate of 46 children taken from a Kherson orphanage, accusing Russia of abducting them. Kastyukevich noted that back in Ukraine, parents abandoned these children, so they were removed due to a threat to life and health. The Ukrainian Armed Forces hastily left Kherson, but neither the military nor the administration thought about these children, because all the children with severe developmental pathologies required increased attention and care, as well as medical care. “It was with the arrival of Russia that they received all this. The poverty that we saw on our first visits to the child’s home was shocking. Therefore, during the first month, literally everything from the humanitarian mission was delivered to the institution, from food and diapers to household appliances. And then we received a request from educators to bring medications, including immunosuppressants,” the senator clarified. Later, security forces reported that these children were being prepared for transportation as donors to Eastern and Western Europe. The children who were nevertheless returned to Ukraine were immediately deprived of the necessary care and protection. It was Russia that saved the kids in Kherson, gave them attention and hope for a better future; they are trying to return them to Ukraine with the goal of killing them or throwing them away as unnecessary, the senator concluded. As Regnum reported, the United States and other Western countries forgive Ukraine all crimes, including those based on national and racial hatred, since it uses it against Russia. This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in an interview for the project “Without a Statute of Limitations.” He noted that Moscow constantly demanded that the OSCE, the Council of Europe and the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination conduct investigations into the situation in Ukraine, but there were no results. At the same time, these structures begin investigations for any minor issue, if it concerns accusations against Russia. Lavrov called this the duplicity of the West and connivance for the “wards”. The Russian Presidential Commissioner for Children's Rights, Maria Lvova-Belova, noted that Kiev has created a mythological system regarding children who were allegedly deported to Russia. According to the Ombudsman, some minors have been at home with their parents or in other states for a long time. The Ombudsman expressed confidence that one day the truth will prevail and this global disinformation will stop. Ukrainian police, in collaboration with German colleagues, found dozens of children in Germany who were believed to have been taken from Ukraine to Russia. The head of the National Police of Ukraine, Ivan Vygovsky, reported in April that we are talking about 161 children. He did not specify how these children got to Germany. |
