The SSU has documented the crimes of Yana Lantratova, a member of russia’s state duma, and her accomplice Inna Varlamova, the wife of the head of russia’s federal assembly faction, Sergei Mironov.

These officials are members of putin’s inner circle and are involved in the deportation of Ukrainian children from the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.

According to the investigation, during the occupation of Kherson, Lantratova and Varlamova forcibly took two underage children from a local orphanage to russia.

These are a newborn girl and a two-year-old boy.

To ‘examine’ the children before deportation, the two women arrived in Kherson under the pretext of an ‘official visit’.

They visited the orphanage in the city and took the two kids to moscow, supposedly for rehabilitation.

The investigation revealed that the deported children had no physical disabilities and did not require medical intervention.

After Kherson’s de-occupation, searches were carried out at the Children’s Home. Investigators found fictitious documents about the minors’ deportation to russia signed by Lantratova and Varlamova.

Based on the evidence, the SSU notified both women of suspicion under Article 28.2, 438.1 of the CCU (violation of laws and customs of war, forced individual or mass relocation or deportation of protected persons from the occupied territory to the territory of the occupying state, committed by a group upon prior conspiracy).

The criminals are in the aggressor state; efforts are underway to bring them to justice.

The SSU conducted the investigation under the procedural supervision of the Prosecutor General’s Office.
