I find it incredible that an official in one of our missions would suggest that Canadian children, born in Canada to a Canadian wife, should move to Ukraine if she wants to reunite with her husband.
There is no criminality. There are no other issues around this case. It's just a decision that it's best for the kids emotionally and developmentally.
It goes on to say that:
Ukraine is a developed country with advanced health and social services including pre-school and primary school education, medical care...and all the necessities for normal life. I therefore consider that the best interests of the children would not necessarily be better served by moving to Canada than remaining in Ukraine.
