“ An 11-year-old boy has told his harrowing story of becoming a victim of Vladimir Putin’s systematic abduction of children from their loving families in one of the conflict’s most heinous war crimes”
Both. Have you heard about what happened at the Mariupol theatre? They had “children” written in huge letters on the ground outside and Russia destroyed it with hundreds of people inside. Then they put up big walls around it and started demolishing it to hide the evidence.
