«One of the most egregious crimes is the forced deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia and Belarus. In May 2022, Putin signed a decree on a simplified procedure for obtaining Russian citizenship for children from Donbas, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson,» the Prosecutor General said.

Donbas, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson are partially occupied territories of Ukraine.
