As your constituent, I am asking you to cosponsor the Justice for Ukrainian Children Act (H.R. 10473).
Russia’s mass abduction and systemic indoctrination of Ukrainian children is a horrific and indisputable war crime. At least 20,610 children have been forcibly relocated to Russia, with the real number estimated at over 200,000. These children are sent to re-education camps, militarized, and have their Ukrainian identities forcibly erased. Once of age, boys are conscripted into the Russian army to fight against their own homeland.
Ukraine has rescued over 2,400 children, but many more remain in Russian captivity. The bipartisan Justice for Ukrainian Children Act would strengthen efforts to locate and return Ukrainian children abducted by Russia, hold those responsible accountable, and reunite families.
I respectfully urge you to take decisive action by cosponsoring H.R. 10473.
