Speaking in the House of Lords on 18 June 2025

Debate

Abducted Ukrainian Children

Contribution

In the noble Lord’s question is the point about Russification, which tells us a lot about some of the motivation for the kidnapping of these children and for the war more generally. On the issue of records, it is difficult at the moment. We are working with the Government of Ukraine to try to get accurate data and information, using whatever means are necessary. I pay tribute to the Qataris for the role they have played in managing to negotiate the return of some children. We all have to do everything we can to make sure that public awareness, as he said, is raised of this issue. I think that when people find out that this is happening at this scale and in such an organised way, they will be horrified. So I agree with the noble Lord, and we should make sure that the public are made more keenly aware of this.
