In Kyiv, the SSU detained one of the organizers of forced transfer of Ukrainian children to russia and the temporarily occupied parts of Ukraine.

According to the investigation, the perpetrator is a former teacher at a Kherson vocational school who collaborated with the ruscists during the occupation of the city.

She was appointed ‘deputy director’ of the occupation institution and instructed to organize forced transfer of six underage students to the temporarily occupied Crimea.

To do this, the children were first evicted from the school’s dormitory and illegally taken to the left bank of the Kherson region. From there, they were transported by bus to the territory of the temporarily occupied peninsula.

The kids were accompanied to their destination by the representatives of russia’s occupation administration, who exerted constant psychological pressure.

In Crimea, the children were ‘locked up’ in one of the local camps. There, they were given pro-kremlin literature, and preparations began for their further entry into the ranks of the russian occupation groupings.

After the liberation of Kherson, the woman moved to Kyiv, hoping to evade justice.

The SSU established the location of the former occupation official, documented her crimes and detained her at her home.

SSU investigators have notified the detainee of suspicion under Articles 28.2, 438.1 of the CCU (war crimes, committed upon prior conspiracy, by a group).

The suspect is in custody without on bail and faces up to 12 years in prison.

Also, the former occupation ‘director’ of the Kherson vocational school and his subordinate ‘teacher’, who are hiding in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine, were notified of suspicion in absentia.

Efforts are underway to bring the culprits to justice.

The operation was carried out under the procedural supervision of the Prosecutor General’s Office.
