Okay but is there any truth that Russia has "evacuated" 3/4 million kids into Russia from Ukraine? Where are they from? Is there a counter claim?

I would like to know this too, because that’s the main thing being used to argue Putin is committing genocide. Were they actually kidnapping children or was it family evacuations?

Some family evacuations, some orphans, some just lost. Some of the latter were returned to Ukraine (double digits, as far as I can tell) the rest got assigned guardians after that free vacation in ~~GULAG~~ Artek.

As for the numbers, they're about as wild as you should expect these days. I've seen anything from 100k to 700k in European media. 50-60k, says the UN. Ukraine officially said (last spring is latest I was able to find) 16k.
