How can the EU help the thousands of Ukrainian children forcefully deported by Russia? Interview with Ukraine’s Ombudsman

Since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, nearly 20,000 Ukrainian children have been forcibly taken by Russian authorities. So far, Kyiv has managed to bring back only around 1,000.

Ukraine's Commissioner for Human Rights, Dmytro Lubinets, recently addressed the European Parliament to denounce this war crime. Many of these children have had their identities changed and are being enlisted into the Russian army.

Moscow denies the accusations, with the president of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin even commending Russian Children’s Commissioner Maria Lvova-Belova for relocating 700,000 Ukrainian minors in what he termed a “humanitarian effort” to protect them.

Radio Schuman interviewed Lubinets during his visit to Brussels, where he met with MEPs and ambassadors.

A quick overview at the agenda today, with the EU ministers for foreign affairs gathering in Brussels and discussing particular hot topics. Guess which ones?

On the last part of the show, Radio Schuman looks at the new holiday trend 'Coolcations'.

Radio Schuman is hosted and produced by Maïa de la Baume, with journalist and production assistant Eleonora Vasques, audio editing by Zacharia Vigneron and Georgios Leivaditis. Music by Alexandre Jas.
