<p>The Conflict Observatory report supports growing evidence of large-scale forced
transfers of Ukrainian civilians. The UK calls on Russia to cease this practice. Forcibly
transferring children of one group to another may constitute genocide under the Convention
on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. We are supporting Ukraine's
domestic investigations and the International Criminal Court investigations into war
crimes, and Ukraine's application against Russia before the International Court of
Justice. On 8 March, I met the UN Special Representative for Children & Armed
Conflict to discuss the international response. On 16 June 2022, we sanctioned the
Russian Children's Rights Commissioner for her role in the forced transfers.</p>
