Myrotvorets Adds 25 Russian Children to Public Database, Citing Border and Sovereignty Offenses
Moscow calls the move proof of a long‑running practice that rights advocates have criticized.
Overview
- The entries appeared on December 9–10, 2025, according to data from the site reported by Russian state media.
- The listed children were born between 2016 and 2022, placing them at roughly three to nine years old.
- The database cites “attempt on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine” and “deliberate violation of Ukraine’s state border” as grounds for inclusion.
- Russian MFA envoy Rodion Miroshnik condemned the listings and on December 11 asserted that Western governments are ignoring the episode.
- The site, active since 2014, has previously published personal data of journalists and other civilians and has included minors before, including a 12‑year‑old in 2021.
