Police managed to find 161 Ukrainian children abducted by Russia in Germany. The head of the National Police of Ukraine, Ivan Vyhovskyi, said this during a meeting in Berlin with the President of the Federal Criminal Police Office of Germany, Holger Munch.

“Thanks to our cooperation with German law enforcement agencies in documenting war crimes of the Russian Federation, namely the deportation and forced transfer of Ukrainian children, the location in Germany of 161 Ukrainian children wanted as forcibly transferred to temporarily occupied territories or deported to the Russian Federation and Belarus has been established,” – Vyhovskyi said.

He added that Kyiv is counting on the help of its partners in bringing Russian war criminals to justice both in Ukrainian courts and in the courts of other countries, and the military-political leadership in the International Criminal Court and the Special Tribunals.

“We are interested in joint actions with our German partners both on a bilateral basis and under the auspices of Europol,” the Head of the National Police emphasized.

According to him, the countries discussed support from European partners on the issue of entering information about Russian war criminals into the Schengen Information System (SIS).
