US Deletes Key Evidence of Russia’s Alleged Child Abductions

The US State Department has reportedly deleted crucial evidence documenting Russia’s alleged abduction of up to 35,000 Ukrainian children, severely hampering international efforts to track and rescue them.

The data, compiled by Yale University researchers, was part of an investigation into Russian war crimes. The deletion follows a funding cut, raising concerns about accountability and justice for the victims. US lawmakers are now urging the Biden administration to restore access to the lost evidence.

The issue remains a major point of discussion in US-Ukraine diplomatic talks.
