Ukraine is facing a serious issue. Over 19, 500 kids have been taken from areas under Russian control since the war started in 2022. This number is just the tip of the iceberg. The real number could be much higher.
Recently, it came to light that some of these children were sent to North Korea. This happened at a camp called Songdowon. Two kids, Misha and Liza, were taken there. They were taught things that erased their Ukrainian identity and replaced it with North Korean propaganda.
The camp is known for its strict rules. Children there are taught to hate certain groups and are fed false history. This is part of a bigger plan to brainwash them. The goal is to make them forget their roots and adopt a new identity.
The world is reacting strongly to this news. The UN has passed a resolution demanding the return of these children. The US and other countries are pushing for stronger actions against Russia. They want to make sure these kids are brought back home safely.
But the problem is bigger than just a few kids. Over 1. 6 million children are still in occupied zones. Many of them are at risk of being taken away. The situation is urgent, and the world needs to act fast to protect these children.
