Today: OSCE #MoscowMechanism expert report on Russia’s indoctrination & militarization of Ukrainian children. It finds that Russia applies systematic policy of erasing Ukrainian identity of children. Russia must ensure immediate safe return of all deported & forcibly transferred children.

Today 41 @OSCE participating States invoked the #MoscowMechanism to investigate further. An expert report will be out in July. #StandwithUkraine #BringKidsBack

Four years. 1,461 days.
Every day is one day too many.
Every life lost is one life too many.
Every person who has been forced to flee their home.
Every child who has been abducted by Russia.
Every home, school and hospital without electricity and heating.
Russia must end its war.
