<p>We condemn the forced deportation of Ukrainian civilians to Russia, and the reported
illegal adoption of orphaned or unaccompanied children by Russian families. In June,
the UK sanctioned the Russian Children's Rights Commissioner, Maria Lvova-Belova,
for her alleged involvement in the forced deportation and adoption of Ukrainian children.
We continue to call for Russia to grant meaningful access for humanitarian organisations
to provide assistance to affected populations in Russia and Russian-controlled regions
of Ukraine, in line with its obligations under international humanitarian law. Ukrainian
civilians in Russia must be allowed to leave if that is their choice.</p>
