As part of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin and his associates have been accused of facilitating the kidnapping of Ukrainian children.

This week, the BBC reported that its investigators had found that one of President Putin's political allies had adopted a child who was seized from a Ukrainian children's home.
