I would like to say first, on behalf of the ICUV.... My name is Andrii Mikheiev, and I'm the international law expert.
I would like to thank Nathaniel very much for the detailed explanation of the chain of command and of all of the organizations and individuals responsible for the adoption of children and their further integration into the Russian cultural environment. We don't have a lot of information to add about these specific people, but we would like to add the activities that take place regarding such children.
We have established the fact that Russian families are currently materially and spiritually encouraged to adopt Ukrainian children—Ukrainian orphans and children deprived of parental care—as soon as possible. Also, the central local legislation in Russia has been simplified and facilitated to make these procedures faster and simpler, despite the level of protection that should be applied to ensure all of the children's human rights in the process of adoption.
We have also established that currently the occupational authorities in the occupied territories of Ukraine are threatening those parents who don't want to let their children enter pro-Russian schools—new Russian schools established with pro-Russian programs—or the teenaged children who themselves don't want to enter such assignments. They're threatening to deprive such parents of their parental authorities and put their children on the adoption list.
This is part of the reintegration policy of the Russian occupational authorities, both in Russia and in the occupied territories of Ukraine.
Thank you very much for your attention.
