The Russian Ambassador accused Ukraine of involving children in criminal schemes through the White Angels organization

Ambassador at Large of the Russian Foreign Ministry Rodion Miroshnik said that Ukraine is involving children forcibly removed from their families by the White Angels organization into criminal schemes.

The head of the DPR, Denis Pushilin, reported that the “White Angels” forcibly take families with children to territory controlled by Kyiv, and if the parents refuse, the children are taken by force.
