This page presents Ukrainian and international activists who have been captured by Russian armed forces, including some who the occupiers have threatened with execution. We also campaign for the return of all Ukrainian children who have been (illegally) transferred to Russia without parental consent, and an end to their enforced russification, name change and adoption. This is a war crime!
