Russia has transfered over 300 Ukrainian children, mainly from the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, and added them to the databases of Russian citizens, according to a study by Yale University.
The research mainly relied on a combination of open-source databases, satellite imagery, and media reports to track the children's movements. The analysts aggregated, verified, and synthesized open-source media reports, Russian government documents and communications, and social media posts to identify the children.
