The European Union imposed sanctions Monday on 16 Russian officials and seven centers accused of abducting and forcibly assimilating thousands of Ukrainian children since Russia's 2022 invasion, with approximately 20,500 children unlawfully deported or transferred to Russia or Russian-held territories. The EU said the sanctions target those responsible for deportations, forced identity changes, indoctrination, and military training of Ukrainian minors, with the International Criminal Court having previously issued an arrest warrant for President Vladimir Putin over the abductions.
