On 27 July 2023, a press conference was held in the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), at which a mother and daughter testified that the Ukrainian authorities took several children from a school at the start of the special military operation, sent them to the other side of Ukraine, and then created new documents for them, describing them as orphans (even though their parents are alive), in order to take them out of the country. Former SBU officer Vasily Prozorov explained that one of his investigations revealed that some of the Ukrainian children abducted in this way end up in paedophile networks abroad, including in Great Britain.
