MUSK CUTS TEAM THAT RESCUES CHILDREN STOLEN BY RUSSIA
Musk CUTS The Team Finding Ukrainian Children STOLEN by Russia Trumps federal cost-cutting led by Elon Musks Doge has now hit the unit helping rescue Ukrainian children taken by Russia iNEWS 15 MAR 2025 https://inews.co.uk/wp-content/uploa...size=640%2C360 The world-leading unit helping to rescue Ukrainian children stolen by Russia has been axed amid Elon Musks slashing of US government spending. Thousands of children have been removed from Ukraine and taken to Russia during the conflict, in a campaign of unlawful deportation The US government has been funding a specialist team based at Yale University, who have used open source technology to trace the lost children and help repatriate them. https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=833 But this team, which has already helped to locate hundreds of children, has now had its funding paused, amid tech tycoon Musks chainsaw slashing of the federal budget via the so-called department of government efficiency (Doge). Trump ally Peter Marocco has been leading on cuts to US foreign aid and development programmes, reportedly visiting offices alongside members of Doge. While Musk has not personally been overseeing individual funding freezes he has been setting the strategy and tone for deep government spending cuts in Washington. There have been more than 19,500 reports of unlawful deportation and forced transfer of children, with campaigners claiming Russia is taking the children to erase Ukrainian culture and indoctrinate the younger generation into a pro-Russia mindset. Mykola Kuleba, founder of the charity Save Ukraine, previously said: Russia is stealing our future. Around 1,240 children have so far been repatriated, according to Bring Kids Back UA, an initiative launched by Volodymyr Zelensky to rescue all children from deportation and occupation. When the search team gathers evidence, it passes the lead to Ukrainian authorities to attempt to bring back the children. The i Paper has confirmed that Yale Humanitarian Research Lab?s data has been used to reunite some families. The decision to cut funding could now harm Ukraines capabilities to reunite more children with their families. A report from the Yale team, published in December, said: Russias program of coerced adoption and fostering of children from Ukraine has been intentionally and directly authorized by Putin and senior officials of the Russian Federation https://inews.co.uk/wp-content/uploa...7156.jpg?w=760 |
