more disgusting behaivor, intentional or one of the back door hacks that DOGE left for their russian partners? it is an int'l crime to delete this kind of evidence. more isolationasim coming if the World Court attempts to enforce their laws? US ‘deletes evidence’ of Russia’s kidnap of thousands of Ukrainian children An international effort to trace and rescue tens of thousands of children kidnapped from Ukraine to Russia and prosecute those responsible has been crippled by the US state department’s deletion of evidence. The Trump administration cut funding to Yale University’s Humanitarian Research Lab, which was compiling a database of alleged Russian war crimes, including the abduction of an estimated 35,000 children from occupied areas of Ukraine, last month. Using satellite imagery and other surveillance systems provided through the US government, the Yale researchers were monitoring 116 sites in Russia. A Yale source said the US state department deleted the evidence which would have been used as part of rescue efforts to get the children home to Ukraine. It would also have been used to prosecute those behind their abductions – including Russian president Vladimir Putin. ”It is unclear whether it was by accident or intent, but it may reveal or it may cause potential criminal liability for the Trump administration, given international prohibitions against the destruction of war crimes evidence,” the Yale insider told The Independent.
Well they are foreign children so why should we care? America first and if we have to look the other way while war crimes are committed against tens of thousands of kids to keep our allies happy it seems a price that must be paid.
Russia kidnapped/trafficked thousands and thousands of Ukrainian children & infants. This issue of what Russia is doing with these children needs more attention. Hopefully EU can step in to help. Listened to a podcast how Russia purposely moves many of the kids thousands of miles away. I get trump has no moral compass. but where are rest of the repubs speaking up for these thousands of children.
I'm not going to argue the point because I have seen no proof one way or another but I have seen claims that the deletion of such information is a conspiracy theory. Funding may have been halted but Trump admin has done no deleting of information I don't even think they have the information I think that information was in the possession of Yale University.
Spokesperson denied it was deleted. Erasing data does seem unusual and a significant claim. Probably need more info on why it’s deleted. “On Wednesday, State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said the allegation of missing data is false. "We know who is running the data and we know fully that the data exists and it's not been deleted and it's not missing." https://www.npr.org/2025/03/19/nx-s...tracked-ukrainian-children-abducted-by-russia
