Controversial Claims Surround Forced Re-education of Ukrainian Children

Russia's foreign ministry rejected a Yale report on the forced re-education of Ukrainian children, calling it propaganda. The report identified over 210 locations for military training and other purposes. Russia expressed doubts about the data's integrity.

In a vehement rebuttal, Russia's foreign ministry dismissed a recent report by Yale's School of Public Health regarding the forced re-education of deported Ukrainian children. The ministry labeled it anti-scientific propaganda, accusing the report of relying on dubious data.

The Yale report claims to have identified over 210 locations where Ukrainian children were subjected to military training, drone manufacturing, and other forms of enforced re-education by Russia. This alleged activity is part of a larger deportation initiative, according to the report.

Responding to these allegations, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova addressed reporters, questioning the report's data collection methods and criticizing its findings as unfounded propaganda.
