RU POV: Negotiations in Istanbul: How the Narrative of the Abducted Children Collapsed

Negotiations in Istanbul: How the Narrative of the Abducted Children Collapsed | Gert-Ewen Ungar | NachDenkSeiten Podcast | June 4, 2025

Russia has abducted tens of thousands of Ukrainian children and taken them to Russia. There, it is alleged in Germany, they are being "Russified," stripped of their identity, and assimilated. Consequently, the International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin. During the negotiations held on Monday to resolve the Ukraine conflict, this narrative completely collapsed. For the German media consumer, yet another spectacle was staged—one that bears absolutely no relation to reality. By Gert-Ewen Ungar.
