As part of a large-scale cyber operation, intelligence officers gained access to the servers of the so-called “government of Crimea”.
Documentation confirming the forced displacement of children from the temporarily occupied territories of the Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine was stored on these resources.

“Thousands of files containing invaluable information for justice about one of the Russian Federation’s greatest war crimes — the abduction of Ukrainian children — have already been handed over to law enforcement agencies. They will be analyzed and added to criminal proceedings. The information obtained will make it possible to find and return the abducted children to their homeland, as well as punish those involved in this crime,” said Andriy Yusov, representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
