More than a dozen former Ronald Reagan staff members have joined dozens of other Republican figures endorsing the Democratic nominee and vice-president, Kamala Harris, saying their support was “less about supporting the Democratic party and more about our resounding support for democracy”.

      They were children abandoned in a war zone. Russia needs to do something about keeping them fed, housed, and clothed. If it didn’t, then it would still be getting accused of genocide, though in that case with more reason! Furthermore, Russia clearly and demonstrably is cooperating with humanitarian organizations to reunite families, and many have been reunited already. The accusation is alarmist nonsense from the perpetual self-proclaimed ethnic victims to justify their fascist cult to literal perpetrators of the Holocaust.

        Rescuing them isn’t the issue. Plenty of NATO nations are providing amnesty to Ukrainian refugees.

        The difference here is adoption. There are no intentions to return these children to Ukraine after the invasion.

        In March 2023, the International Criminal Court issued warrants, opens new tab for the arrest of President Vladimir Putin and children’s commissioner Maria Lvova-Belova on war crimes charges related to the abduction of Ukrainian children.

          Aside from the ICC notoriously being an American running-dog, charges are not convictions. We’ve already seen Russia cooperate with returning children, we can’t say that there’s no intention of it.

              The ICC is not trustworthy, and I certainly trust the objective events that even liberal media report on when they come into conflict with what the ICC says. I don’t know what Putin says on this and have not cited him once because that would be absurd. You are denying reality in favor of statements.

                I referenced credible sources (here’s another) substantiating the adoption of abducted Ukrainian children by Russian families.

                You referenced your own opinion coupled with speculation, and attempted to discredit widely accepts facts from multinational sources.

                Yeah. I’m the one who’s denying reality.

                    So again you use your opinion to discredit a source without providing any substantiated information.

                    Your opinions aren’t facts. Maybe you should provide a reputable source to support your opinions before calling challenging the credibility of others’ factual sources.
