US ‘deletes evidence’ of Russia’s kidnap of thousands of Ukrainian children
US ‘deletes evidence’ of Russia’s kidnap of thousands of Ukrainian children
Researchers at Yale University had been compiling database of alleged Russian war crimes, including abduction of up to 35,000 children
Summary
Trump cut funding to Yale’s Humanitarian Research Lab, which was tracking Russian war crimes, including the abduction of 35,000 Ukrainian children.
A Yale source claims the U.S. State Department deleted key evidence, possibly hindering prosecution efforts and rescue missions. The data was crucial to the ICC’s case against Putin and others.
Trump, who recently met with Putin, has taken a pro-Russian stance.
Yale’s project had led to multiple indictments, but its shutdown raises concerns over legal and humanitarian consequences.
Remember when all the cookers were going on about "Save the children"?
It’s never about the children.
Remember when all the liars pretended to care about Palestinian children and yet somehow voted for Jill Stein or stayed at home? I do.
In swing States (where the election was decided), voter turnout was almost the same in 2024 as in the last presidential election. So you can stop repeating the debunked claim that voters who "stayed home" are to blame for Trump's victory.
From the article ...
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.
Fascists of a feather fuck up the world together.
This is so upsetting
It looks like Trump has moved from Russian asset to Russian agent.

To the governor of a Russian Oblast.
Oh, come on! Let's be generous and call it an autonomous republic.
always has been
Boom. Something this heinous certainly will cause a drop in egg prices.
I can already smell the omelets. All it took was war crimes.
How does cutting funding end up deleting data? Unless they where hosting this stuff on fed systems they shouldn't have been able to touch it, much less delete it.
As for the 'maybe it was accidental', I'd laugh if it wasn't so painful to reiterate what kind of sociopath we have running things.
How does cutting funding end up deleting data?
Per the article, they were explicit deletions.
Fucking orange Russian cunt muppet.
Off with his head. Make Trump dead.
Yes puppet, Yes puppet, He’s a puppet.
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.
I mean the article is very tragic and all. But I cant help it to think the author's sentence structure here is trying very hard to suggest the numbers were from last month. Am I the only one?
The information inside of the commas can be omitted, it's just extra detail. The sentence can still read as 'The Trump administration cut funding to Yale University's Humanitarian Research Lab last month.'
The extra detail couldve been placed on another more direct position of the sentence is what Im saying..
"trying very hard" not "clearly stating the wrong"
