"Three hundred children from Luhansk region and Donetsk region were taken to Moscow for ‘treatment’," the Luhansk Regional Military Administration posted on Telegram.
It is noted that mobile teams of Russian doctors conducted medical examinations of boys and girls in almost every town of the occupied Luhansk region last autumn. "In some places, even teachers in schools collected money from children for the opportunity to be examined. 300 of them were sent to Moscow hospitals. Allegedly, when ‘serious injuries’ were detected, health workers as part of teams provided first aid. And then, with the help of special transport or sanitary aviation, the patients were taken to Moscow, where they continued to undergo treatment and rehabilitation," the report says.
The administration emphasizes that children and parents had no idea of their "serious health condition" before the occupiers arrived.
"It is hard to imagine how many children from the region were deported to other settlements of the Russian Federation under the pretext of hospitalization," the administration added.
As reported, the invaders took about 2,000 children from the occupied territories of Ukraine to the Russian Federation for the "New Year holidays".
