Moscow says 700,000 children from Ukraine conflict zones now in Russia

Russia has brought some 700,000 children from the conflict zones in Ukraine into Russian territory, Grigory Karasin, head of the international committee in the Federation Council, Russia’s upper house of parliament, has said.

“In recent years, 700,000 children have found refuge with us, fleeing the bombing and shelling from the conflict areas in Ukraine,” Karasin wrote on his Telegram messaging channel.

Moscow says its programme of bringing children from Ukraine into Russian territory is to protect orphans and children abandoned in conflict zones.

Ukraine and the United States say children have been illegally deported and forcibly removed from their homes.

The US ambassador to Russia, Lynne Tracy, has met jailed Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich at Lefortovo Prison in Moscow, in the second such visit since his pre-trial detention in March on espionage charges.

“Ambassador Tracy reports that Mr Gershkovich is in good health and remains strong, despite his circumstances,” a State Department spokesperson said. “We expect Russian authorities to provide continued consular access.”

Russia has said Gershkovich was caught trying to obtain military secrets while on a trip to the Russian city of Yekaterinburg but has provided no details supporting that assertion. The Wall Street Journal denies the allegations.

Ukrainian campaigners nominate Unilever ‘sponsor of war’

The Ukraine Solidarity Project (USP) has added British consumer goods giant Unilever to its list of sponsors of war, after the company failed to act on its announced decision to quit the Russian market over Moscow’s war in Ukraine.

Unilever, which owns hundreds of internationally-known brands, including Dove, Rexona, Lipton, and Domestos, remained in Russia and increased its profits in the country by 24.9 percent last year, according to Ukraine’s National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NAZK).

Protesters held a billboard with a spoof Dove advertisement outside the Unilever HQ in London.

Unilever said it would continue to supply everyday food and hygiene products made in Russia to people in the country.
