"Today there is an important political result in Strasbourg - at the PACE session. A resolution has been adopted that recognizes that Russia's deportation of Ukrainian children bears the hallmarks of genocide. Practically speaking, this decision will significantly help our global work to bring Russia and its officials, including the head of the terrorist state, to justice for genocide and genocidal policy against Ukraine.
The deportation of Ukrainian children is one of the well-thought-out elements of Russia's attempts to erase the identity of our people, to destroy the very essence of Ukrainians. This is a deliberate crime of genocide committed by Russian officials - this is how it should be qualified both politically and legally.
Today, the First Lady of Ukraine addressed PACE - specifically about children and families. Our parliamentarians and diplomats have done a good job. And at all levels - formal and informal, with leaders of states, at the parliamentary, governmental, law enforcement levels, in the legal community and in international and inter-parliamentary organizations - we will continue to work for the return of all deported Ukrainian children and for the punishment of Russia," Zelensky said.
