Russia is now offering forcefully deported Ukrainian minors for coerced “adoption” through a newly created “catalogue”, where Ukrainian children are categorised by age, eyes and hair colour.
Russia-installed occupation authorities in Ukraine’s Luhansk region created an online “catalogue” of Ukrainian children, offering them for coerced “adoption” through the education department.
The database includes 294 Ukrainian children, who are sorted and categorised so that the users can “filter” them by age, gender and physical traits, like eyes and hair colour.
The children are advertised for their character traits, with some described as “obedient” or “calm”.
In numerous cases, the children are described as “polite and respectful towards the adults”, “disciplined” and “not conflictive” or “can be relied on to execute tasks”.
This sounds horrible. There’s an inventory (catalog) of children. Goods/products are inventoried, not people.
As everyone else has pointed out, this is effectively just a slave market. Russia is just too chickenshit (along with a good chunk of the rest of the world) to say what it is out loud.*
It does sound horrible but it gives me hope. I hope that one day we can hold them accountable for what they’ve done and reunite these children with their Ukrainian families.
The Nazis were pretty detailed about documenting their many crimes in the Holocaust. This documentation was a tremendous boon to the investigations and prosecutions of Nazi war criminals.

Humanity just can’t help but to repeat it’s atrocities while the world just watches.
