Note that this is what Nazi Germany did with children deemed "Aryan" enough in Eastern Europe; looks like Russia is continuing the tradition by takingUkrainianRussian children back to Mother Russia.
How many children are not going to be returned after this war ends? How many will be brainwashed/develop Stockholm for their abductors? How many will go "missing"?
It's all crumbling for Russia -- troops are literally deserting en-masse or fragging their CO's so they can surrender. Their "allies" are turning their guns on Russian troops as soon as they're given said guns... from the Russians. Their state-sponsored PMC is turning to basically the international Mafia gangs for more troops (which is so going to end well, giving military hardware to these people!) and foreign mercenaries. Ukraine is either stealing or salvaging their top of the line (for Russia, anyway) hardware, forcing them to use older stuff in storage, while countries all over the world are donating/selling to Ukraine hardware and munitions constantly.
If this doesn't end with someone close to Putin just going up behind him and shooting him in the head, I'll be surprised.
gang-pressing worked for Royal Navy,so Putin could think that it would worked now,too.Sadly for him - it is not true.
Such methods worked till 20th century,but not now.
And,germans taken about 200.000 polish children who lived thinking,that they are germans - so,why it could not worked for Moscov,too?
