Russia continues to invent legal traps in order to keep kidnapped Ukrainian children forever. Just recently, Putin signed Federal Constitutional Law No. 4-FKZ, which has catastrophic consequences for the search and rescue of Ukrainian children. Under this law, all adoption documents issued by occupation authorities are now valid indefinitely. Prior to this, such decisions had a transitional status until the spring of 2026, after which cases were supposed to be reviewed. Now, Russian authorities are officially permitted to conduct no reviews whatsoever. They have been given the green light to avoid searching for biological parents, ignore the fact that families were forcibly separated during hostilities, and turn a blind eye to the reality that relatives might be searching for these children in Ukraine right now. The aggressor is massively and permanently legalizing abduction, binding a Ukrainian child to a stranger's family. I constantly encounter how difficult it is to pull a child out of the Russian system. The occupiers change children's first names, last names, and places of birth, completely erasing their past. With the adoption of this law, challenging adoptions and proving family ties will become times more difficult. They are trying to create the illusion of complete legality in their actions so that the occupation of children's destinies becomes irreversible. The scale of this tragedy is hard to overstate. Every day, my Save Ukraine team and I try to fight against Russian bureaucracy, but now the enemy has added yet another serious barrier. However, we keep working, searching for children, and finding new opportunities to bring them home. Please share this post. The more people know about Russia's crimes, the harder it will be for Russia to hide them behind the dry lines of its laws.
